What is CISPA:

Quote:

CISPA is up for a vote this week. It would obliterate any semblance of online privacy in the United States, giving the government -- including the military -- broad new powers to spy on Internet users.

The White House says that any cybersecurity legislation must preserve "Americans' privacy, data confidentiality, and civil liberties and [recognize] the civilian nature of cyberspace."

It's been passed and they added some really bad amendments into it. They are really shooting this through.

I guess we'll see where Obama really stands on this issue, and not where he 'threatens' to.

obama probably will veto it and use it as leverage with the american ppl to win the election

I hope he vetoes it, but then he hasn't exactly engendered trust as to 'following through'.

**usiel** · 04-27-12 at 06:36 AM

Ya, he said he'd veto a lot of things but he hasn't. So ya this looks grim as hell.
