Did Congress get the memo not to ******** with the Internet

[METALFumasu]

Apparently not.

Enter CISPA, SOPA and PIPA's little brother.

*facepalm* Really Congress? Did you forget about the SOPA backlash already?

What's even more disturbing is that several tech companies are BACKING this new bill.

The question is: will the internet activist vanguard be able to drum up grassroots support against the bill without the backing of companies like FACEBOOK.

The Zen Master says, "We'll see."

it will only end when they get more power over the american people. have you heard that they are trying to take over xbox live and psn now?

[Heimdalr]

They're only setting up secure channels between the State and the industrial sector. Which in itself isn't something spectacular as they have had these channels over other forms of communication for a while.

Eh?

Okay, I need a source for that one. I know the government is willing to do some unusual stuff, but that just sounds crazy. As in "more bizarre than pockybot's views" level of crazy. Somewhere out deep in the Oort cloud of conspiracy theories sort of thing.

I think it was on RT or BBC not sure. It was like 5 days ago or so. this power grab is not going to just end with the small stuff.

I was thinking that same thing the only thing i can think for is that you can hook it up to your computer. IE its getting around the law and hacking peoples computers.

When a Republican decides to try to ******** around with something, be it a mistress, a male prostitute or the internet, they won't give up until they're thrown in jail.

Gaming networks (like psn or XboxLive) are a means of communication as well as entertainment, that's probably why.

[King Shining Heaven]

All of these acts are getting tiring. Can't they give it up already?

I can't wait for it to pass. Once it does it will usher in a new age of completely original user generated content. All Hail CISPA.
