You may have had an inclination that the CIA was monitoring your activity on Facebook, your emails, and practically everything you do online. Your Google searches can be monitored by government. This we pretty much knew. Congress has finally gathered enough approval to pass a bill that will make it legal for them to do so. CISPA will kill the internet.
This will lead to complete censorship in all freedoms of the last phase of democracy — the internet. The individual rights of Americans are at stake here.
Goodbye to privacy literally means goodbye to freedom. CISPA is a red flag to the people of America.
HR 3523 was introduced on November 30, 2011 by U.S. Representative Michael Rogers (R-MI). and 111 co-sponsors.
Should you be worried about this latest bill? You had better, because this Cybersecurity Bill will be the same thing that airports are doing to citizens that travel. The NSA will check and scan your online baggage without you knowing it. This is a greater invasion of privacy than the airports.
There are over 800 companies that are supporting CISCA. This almost makes it certain that the bill will get passed with ease.
This means that government will waste millions of dollars policing the internet, only to appease powerful corporations, and in return, those same companies gain immunity from government scrutiny. Selling data to government is more revenue to tech companies. But it won’t be if the internet is totally abandoned.
The United States Congress has sent a clear message to the people — your data online is no longer private and secure. CISPA will be the final death blow to the internet if it is passed.
Many have signed a petition against this bill.
