We all remember the outrage that swept the Internet and ultimately played a role in defeating CISPA,
a proposed law that would have allowed government agencies and tech
companies to exchange private information about United States citizens
without their knowledge and without a warrant. Well, it’s time to get
ready for another round of outrage because CISPA’s controversial
successor is now a step closer to becoming law. [1] According to Sen. Feinstein, CISA has undergone numerous changes compared to the original CISPA bill proposal, and the changes should help ease the concerns of CISPA critics. Civil liberty groups such as the Center for Democracy and Technology disagree.
US Citizens are playing a defensive game here. Every time they counter one of these
legislative attacks on freedom, all the attackers need to do is slink
back and prepare their next assault in six months. Instead of fighting off one of these things every year, they need to
pre-emptively get laws passed explicitly protecting Internet
freedoms. Basically they need something like the 'Bill of Rights that's
written in unambiguous language appropriate to 21st century technology.'
