CISPA: the sequel to SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA

Post by Smega »

Just when you think your privacy is safe, US Congress sneaks up with yet another depressing bill. This one will allow the government to spy on anyone on the Internet at any given time. Seriously.

Sorry I'm not much on motivational writing, but here's a petition.

Knowing the Americans, they will also come up with a prequel.

Can't they do that already? You know, for the greater good and protection of the children.

Whether they can, they shouldn't, not only because it is a violation of the First Amendment, but (that was the other one, sorry) it will not at all help the purposes it claims to be for.

Here's some more info, don't hate me that it's Wikipedia.

This bill has to be the most idiotic thing that anyone has thought of. Did the government see movies like Minority Report, Brazil and 1984 and think "What a good idea!"

Who hates Wikipedia?

I'm seriously starting to get pissed at the government that just keeps trying to get the control over the internet. Every time a new bill comes around, it's worse than the one before it. Have you guys noticed that pattern? The US government is just flipping us the bird and they don't give a shit about how badly it will fuck everything up. [/rant]

They should call it Internet Patriot Act and all Americans would be fine with it. :mrgreen:

Spanex : a lot of Western countries do the same kind of stuff. Most governments want control over the Internet.

Yeah, so I heard... Though honestly I just can't stand hearing or reading this shit anymore. Yet it's important that we know, so we can act against it. Ugh.

Alright, the charges are set in the Whitehouse. Don't worry, it's only an hour's travel away. Shall I detonate or hold as randsom for this jackass funko bill?

Come at me, America. :boon:

Why the fuck is the US even allowed to do something like that? It's pretty outrageous that people outside of the states can even be affected by any of this.

CISPA: for freedom 'n shit

I'm afraid this is only beginning. They'll come up with bills like this until one of them passes. Or people flip the fuck out IRL finally.

I wonder if you would still be squealing excitedly if they crashed a plane into your house and killed your family.
