Leaked TISA text reveals plans to ban FOSS mandates, globalize anti-spam laws, and limit protection of personal data.
The White House wants almost unilateral power to enact extreme digital rules in secret.
1) Preventing national parliaments from acting in the best interests of their citizens seems like a bad idea.
2) Doing it all in secret seems like a very bad idea.
3) Allowing corporations to influence the rules while keeping citizens and the press in the dark seems like an extremely bad idea.
What is the counterargument from supporters of TISA, TPP, TTIP, et al? I've never heard a rationale for secrecy and short-circuiting the democratic process.
Have they even attempted to justify this?
