For all my liberal friends that were applauding the demise of SOPA…..i suggest we wake up and smell the coffee!
SOPA is NOT dead! SOPA has morphed into CISPA…..that is right SOPA is not going away…the trickery bastards are renaming it……On November 30, 2011 representatives Michael “Mike” Rogers (R-MI) and C.A. Ruppersberger (D-MD) introduced H.R. 3523: Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011, which has 106 co-sponsors.
Govtrack.us reveals the synopsis of H.R. 3523:
“Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011 – Amends the National Security Act of 1947 to add provisions concerning cyber threat intelligence and information sharing. Defines “cyber threat intelligence” as information in the possession of an element of the intelligence community directly pertaining to a vulnerability of, or threat to, a system or network of a government or private entity, including information pertaining to the protection of a system or network from: (1) efforts to degrade, disrupt, or destroy such system or network; or (2) theft or misappropriation of private or government information, intellectual property, or personally identifiable information. Requires the Director of National Intelligence to: (1) establish procedures to allow intelligence community elements to share cyber threat intelligence with private-sector entities, and (2) encourage the sharing of such intelligence. Requires the procedures established to ensure that such intelligence is only: (1) shared with certified entities or a person with an appropriate security clearance, (2) shared consistent with the need to protect U.S. national security, and (3) used in a manner that protects such intelligence from unauthorized disclosure. Provides for guidelines for the granting of security clearance approvals to certified entities or officers or employees of such entities. Authorizes a cybersecurity provider (a non-governmental entity that provides goods or services intended to be used for cybersecurity purposes), with the express consent of a protected entity (an entity that contracts with a cybersecurity provider) to: (1) use cybersecurity systems to identify and obtain cyber threat information in order to protect the rights and property of the protected entity; and (2) share cyber threat information with any other entity designated by the protected entity, including the federal government. Regulates the use and protection of shared information, including prohibiting the use of such information to gain a competitive advantage and, if shared with the federal government, exempts such information from public disclosure. Prohibits a civil or criminal cause of action against a protected entity, a self-protected entity (an entity that provides goods or services for cybersecurity purposes to itself), or a cybersecurity provider acting in good faith under the above circumstances. Directs the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board to submit annually to Congress a review of the sharing and use of such information by the federal government, as well as recommendations for improvements and modifications to address privacy and civil liberties concerns. Preempts any state statute that restricts or otherwise regulates an activity authorized by the Act.”
Do not be so proud of the victory with SOPA and PIPA……your 1st amendment is at risk yet again……if you are opposed to SOPA then learn as much as possible on the new attack on your rights…..CISPA!
Or you could just go along with the flow and lose your rights……no biggies….but YOU NEED TO CHOOSE! Or shut up!
“Requires the procedures established to ensure that such intelligence is only: (1) shared with certified entities or a person with an appropriate security clearance”
The Washington Post reported in a 2010 series by Dana Priest and William M. Arken that there are 854,000 people with top-secret security clearances
This doesn’t include thousands more who have the lower classified access for SECRET information. Not exactly an assurance from the government that the right people only will see this or that some confusion may ensue where the right people are forbidden see it. How will they prevent the failure of something going wrong with this many people potentially able to see your private information that doesn’t have anything to do with national security?
Larry, that is a problem and we all know from experience that the more fingers in the pie the more they could f*ck up a wet dream……all of us that went black during the SOPA protest need to keep an eye on this….it is far from over….and i believe many of us said just that when SOPA went down….
LOL.
Lob, get real. “For all my liberal friends…” Every conservative blogger I know is opposed to SOPA, including myself. In fact, most of its support came from HOLLYWOOD, which is hardly conservative….And most of its blogosphere support came from……..liberals! Yes! Musicians, artists, and writers – all very liberal – who felt SOPA would protect their intellectual property.”
Hollywood is behind this, Lob. They’re all leftists and you know it. So, I think if you truly want to see the demise of SOPA and it’s progenies, you’ll vote for a Republican this November.
LOL back atcha!
First they are not all Leftists…..Jon Voight, Stephen Baldwin, Ted Nugent, Victoria Jackson and i am sure there are more but I do not care enough to check it out…..and the list goes on….because someone is in Hollywood does not make them all Leftists…..just as not all FOX viewers are NOT right wing whackos…personally, I think you are mistaken……voting conserv will do NOTHING to defeat SOPA….if anything it would make it harder to be an opposing voice on line…..
If they really want to do something good then make it a federal offense to lie in campaigns….no matter who says what……
If I disagree with Repubs I am a leftist….and when I disagree with Obama what does that make me……My concern is that SOPA or as it will be called CISPA will censor all voices on line like me and possibly you…
Sorry to be an a/hole…I just learned that a friend in Syria has been killed……
Lobotero,
Fine. But MOST of them are Leftists — and ya know it! LOL.
You are a Leftist, Lob!!! Why don’t you just, once and for all, admit it! You’re like a anarcho-socialist or something. It’s weird. But whatever floats your boat.
Look, I think we can all agree, liberal and conservative, that the Internet should remain free and open and unhindered by government.
You weren’t an asshole by any means. Disagreement is fine – and very welcome.
It’s a bad situation in Syria, I hear. I’m very sorry about your friend. Hopefully the violence will come to an end soon so that nobody else falls victim.
Terrance I will agree that most are liberal…..oh I am a progressive and I do not appreciate that the Dems have hijacked that term for their own means…..yes, I am a Leftist and have been since I was 12 years old and read Paine’s “Common Sense”…..in case you missed this post….

I am worried about his family….he has three brothers and a sister and they will not take is death lightly….
Good luck with school…..btw, what are you studying?
I’m finishing up undergrad work so I can get into law school. At least, that’s my plan.
Cool! good luck with that endeavor…we can never have too much education….even though Santorum would call me arrogant….
