House Passes CISPA

wiedzmin writes "The House approved Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act with a 248 to 168 vote today. CISPA allows internet service providers to share Internet 'threat' information with government agencies, including DHS and NSA, without having to protect any personally identifying data of its customers, without a court order. It effectively immunizes ISPs from privacy lawsuits for disclosing customer information, grants them anti-trust protection on colluding on cybersecurity issues and allows them to bypass privacy laws when sharing data with each other."

Yes, executing people for treason is much, much better than our search history being given to the government.

Attention retard: posts like yours are exactly what this bill is supposed to facilitate tracking down. CISPA allows the govt unprecedented rights to get to the source of commentards making oblique threats against politicians, and since Congresswoman Giffords got shot in the head you should just assume no one is feeling overly sympathetic to would-be assassins.
