CISPA Passes In The House But Senate Will Likely Knock It Down Due To Privacy Concerns
It’s baaaaaack: Last year we started paying attention to the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, otherwise known as CISPA, for its perceived similarities to the reviled SOPA and PIPA bills. Despite getting killed off last year, CISPA has now been approved by the U.S. House of Representatives by a huge margin.
The House adopted CISPA by a 288-127 vote today, reports CNET, which is an improvement over the response it received the last time it was in the House. But the White House already threatened to veto it if it goes any further, and since the Democrats control Senate, it’s unlikely to survive a vote there.
I can't imagine why the arcane socialist party would not vote for this privacy intruding bill in the Senate, but I'll still write in opposition to this bill anyway. Gawd!
And I will add that this story is probably a smoke and mirror story hoping you will not write your Senator in opposition to this act of ignorance. Remember Obamacare? How important it was to pass it so we could see what was in it?
Please write your Senators anyway. They need to hear your opinions, even though Ben Cardin and Babs Mikulski will send you their ignorant flat stamped form letter informing you they appreciate your opinion but are voting otherwise, at least you will be on record as having written an opinion.
