The worst Internet regulation bill since SOPA/PIPA has reared it's ugly
head once again and by no surprise it was the House Republicans who
decided to bring it back as a piece a legislation in hopes of getting it
passed through Congress. Couldn't have picked a worse time considering
the Sequester coming up on March 1st.


Once again it's up to us to spread the word and stop CISPA from becoming
the law of the land in the United States from destroying the Internet.
Last year Congress tried to pass CISPA into law during the 2012 Election
Primaries around the same time and went to great lengths to pass it
behind closed doors even internationally via treaty which ultimately
failed.


Here's an Official White House.gov Petition against this:

Oh My God! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!  :( I had enough with SOPA/PIPA, now this, CISPA? Why don't they just create a totally different Internet just for themselves and leave us be? I had enough uploading files into mega after mf disaster. -_-

The more a government tries to protect more than what is tolerable for its citizens, the more it becomes an enemy onto itself.

No! Noooo! We've made too many compromises already, too many retreats... they take down megaupload, and we fall back. They eradicate entire torrent hosts, and we fall back.

 

The line must be drawn here! This far and no further! And I... will make them PAY for what they've done!

What does the UN have to do with any of this? All of these proposals originate from UN member states (almost always without fail the US) behind which the organisations/corporations pushing for the bill (and eventually the sponsor country) tries to use the UN as a means of seeking international support and eventually legal recognition and ratification. I think you're confusing cause and effect here.

 

I also think its ironic you're putting this on Obama's doorstep, when he was the one who threatened to veto the bill, and who proposed it to begin with wasn't a Democrat but a - wait for it - Republican.

This is just so sick. *Controls Frustration* *Breaths*

They are at it AGAIN!? First SOPA/PIPA (And the countless other laws they've done against it)

Then Google Bans us from searching boobies so now we have to go to www.dogpile.com that has much better search for boobies and you can even elaborate more on it ;).

Then now we have CISPA  they keep saying it's "Stop Piracy" but the only thing it is stopping is "Privacy".

How annoying our government is becoming. IMO we should be able to do what ever we want and not be restricted , especially if we are not harming anyone.

There are already small laws slowly taking our freedoms away. It is sad...

 

Edit: BTW Thanks for the link I signed it ^_^.

I want to add a couple of things about the topic post:

 

1) I found it on Bulbagarden and the entire post was copied from that.

 

2) It was copied to the following sites: e621, Fenoxo, GameFAQs, HongFire, Legend of Krystal, LoversLab, Pale Moon, PortableApps, and ULMF. (However, ULMF deleted the topic)

 

3) "the Sequester coming up on March 1st." Line, I know it's past March 1, but I only found it two days ago when browsing through the news section of Bulbagarden's forum for the news about the bully victim.

 

And finally, here is the Wikipedia entry for it as well.

I really wanna say "let them have their internet and control" and make a new internet with a law that makes it untouchlabe, a totaly free medium for people, but i wonder if that would be even possible.

This makes me so angry. I cannot add more without going on a cursing tirade, but... argh. I wonder how they'd feel if we had access to their private communications.

It's very frustrating that they keep imposing their views.

Seriously though:

 

"Hey, let's put something in here that says it should be illegal for your employers to demand passwords to all your private social accounts."

No! Noooo! We've made too many compromises already, too many retreats... they take down megaupload, and we fall back. They eradicate entire torrent hosts, and we fall back.

 

The line must be drawn here! This far and no further! And I... will make them PAY for what they've done! 

 

 

Well that was taken directly out of Star Trek First Contact.

I know, and I think the people who liked it got that, too. See what I did there? I misappropriated a speech by Picard against the Borg, and turned it into something against CISPA.

 

Because, you know... that's what CISPA is.

What CISPA is saying "We are the Borg. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Resistance is futile."

 

Now that I think of it, isn't that what most governments are?

People aren't supposed to care. If the EFF wasn't around this wouldn't even be an issue. Go back to doing what you were doing citizen and let big brother :cool:  handle this (lol not really).

 

This bill is more of a request to data mine than to protect networks or prevent piracy.

 

If they really cared about security they would pay to have a research department (an agency like NASA for computers?) setup to study networks and develop software or appliances for network security. If they wanted to prevent piracy they could require a disposable hardware key for everything and encrypt everything on any type of disc and require you register with a server (not a stupid serial or product key) before being allowed to use it.

 

The telecom companies jump on this because they want to make money by selling your information to the state. The security companies want this because they get contracts from the state to secure or break into systems.They are in business because most of their money is made off of computer and network mishaps. Media companies want this because it will be easier to sue you if you pirate their crap. Systems engineers\architects get money off of this because they get paid to setup backdoors in large networks. Everyone else just uses this to monitor your habits and advertise out the ass so you buy stuff you don't actually need.

 

I would also bet that if they do want to keep everything meshed together then it pretty much is a botnet to be used by the state. There are already companies using idle processing over networks with mobile phones to do god knows what. When this comes to pass people will go back to using IP addresses and use local networks or VPNs to visit to questionable sites. These guys aren't able to and don't want to monitor anything that isn't listed on a DNS server and even if they wanted to there are already billions of devices connected anyway. It will be funny to see what they plan on doing when IPV6 is used exclusively; I doubt they will have the patience or skill to monitor more than six billion addresses or even a fraction of that. Whats even funnier than that is that someday there could be trillions of devices if growth continues as it is now, but I doubt thats gonna happen (that would be insane, but still not even hit the address limit for IPV6). Imagine a librarian who has to keep track of a billion or more more books; no one wants to do that shit; and if they are enthusiastic about it (like a ton of those supporting companies) you know they are full of it. Even when everything is recorded by a ton of people you can't say that mistakes won't be made. If some type of automation occurs to help those librarians (lol skynet) it will have trouble sorting through all the false positives when it finds a string of words in "the right combination".

 

I won't even lie it puts a smile :lol:  on my face to think that the state will be wasting a ton of time and resources to find out that some regular joe is browsing facebook\youtube\a news site or searching google all in the name of security and anti-piracy (mostly anti-piracy; who does the state fear anyway?).

 

The only good thing that can come out of this is that it will force competition between network hardware companies so that they are able to push enormous amounts of data to the state. I don't like CISPA but it would be cool for fiber optics to get cheap enough to where they become affordable for everyone. By that time (hopefully) the internet will be ditched for the darknet anyway; if shit does get any worse its likely that every network device will have to be registered with the state so they aren't monitoring every single device going to youtube, google, or anything that generates wasteful traffic (lol porn and funny videos or funny pictures).

 

Let them build their silly borg and watch it come crashing to a halt when it gets too large and complex for them to take care of. It's a wonder all of this shit still works now considering that there is so much shit plugged in already.

 

tl;dr the state wants to monitor your traffic to find out what porn sites you browse and what funny videos you watch
