Today, another internet privacy bill was passed by the House 248-168. This one is called CISPA (Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act) and it essentially makes it easier for the government and corporation to share "cyber threat data". The whole world experienced the majority of people’s outrage when they tried to pass SOPA and PIPA and now even Obama has threatened to veto CISPA according to The Washington Post. The main purpose of the bill was to help pass this data easier and avoid more regulations creating a stronger defense by allowing the data to flow easier. All that could be useful, but at the cost of people’s civil liberties, it becomes unacceptable. For example, the government and AT&T (who was one of the companies in support of CISPA) should not be able to look at and store all the information from each and every person’s internet (whether it is view history or personal information etc.). All US citizens have civil rights that protect them from situations like this but because they are searching through “cyber threat data” they may think it is necessary and does not violate any such rights. I firmly do not believe that is the case and that the governments’ partnership with private corporations is a sure sign that the people’s best interest are not at heart.
