Eternal vigilance, folks, they're at it again:

House to vote on CISPA next week...

Despite the fact that the secret markup of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) left most of the problems unsolved, the House is still slated to vote on the flawed legislation next week, potentially allowing the total destruction of what little online privacy remains.

Unfortunately this is precisely the same situation we were presented with almost a year ago when it was similarly dangerous. Of course CISPA still enjoys massive corporate support as it did last year, according to the International Business Times.

Today Michelle Richardson, Legislative Counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union?s Washington Legislative Office pointed out that while CISPA?s sponsors and corporate backers claim ?that all privacy and civil liberties problems have been solved,? this is nowhere near the truth....

Yeah, I just read about this too.
To be honest, I am starting to get worried that it may pass this time.
 
Damn, looks like every big name is behind it this time..
