Cispa Suffers Setback In Senate!

The Senate will almost certainly kill a controversial cybersecurity bill, recently passed by the House, according to a U.S. Senate Committee member.

Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., the chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, said in a statement on April 18 that CISPA's privacy protections are "insufficient."

Although it may be "dead" for now, I would imagine that they will try to push out a different revision of the bill.

There just gonna keep push  more and more till the bill is overwhelmed with laws then they pass it

Isn't this the second time they've tried to pass this through? They can try all they want, but it isn't going to pass.

I don't doubt that there will be some version of cispa that gets signed into law,but I hope that version has more details pertaining to protecting our privacy.

They tried SOPA and CISPA.

I certainly hope not, Gandalf! Even though I don't live in America it would probably effect the whole world.

if they're truly worried about cyber attacks why don't they just monitor foreign ip's trying to access government websites and their affiliates?

 

does NOT make sense (except maybe they just want to steal your information).

These bills kind of suck for everyone whos not American. We have basically no input with them but they will affect everything on the internet.

The US government wants the internets to be theirs. WE SAY NO TO THAT!
