It's baaaaaaaaaaaaaack...
It's official. CISPA is back.
Meet the New CISPA. Same as the Old CISPA.
"The new CISPA - just like the old CISPA - would protect companies like Facebook and Microsoft from legal liability when they hand over your sensitive online data to the federal government, without any regard for your privacy. The bill would permit the government - including the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security - to use that information for matters that have nothing to do with cybersecurity. The whole process would, of course, take place behind closed doors, with no accountability to the public."

Lawmakers Defend Controversial CISPA Bill
Mike Rogers and C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger are saying that they need CISPA so that they can violate people's privacy because of threats to privacy from Iran and China, but they aren't saying what protections, if any, CISPA 2.0 has to PROTECT the privacy of American citizens. (They both seem rather miffed that this bill didn't pass before, incidentally.)
And how would violating the privacy of Americans prevent hacks from Iran and China?
