Finally, CISPA bill passed.
Your data has always and always been breached. It's just that you didn't know before but now you're alarmed because it's in the News.
In another word, this bill is just an amendment to the old one. It's technically sort of transitional stuff.
Big corporations are happy about it coz no lawsuit takes place against them in any case. It's now all on government's hand. They're saying 'hey, we'll collect each and every information about you in case we smell cyber threats or anything like that coming out of you, and when internet companies are involved in providing informations about you, YOU netizens CAN NOT sue them, is that understood? You can sue nobody.'
It's just a metaphor but realistic but in detailed term, it's explained more in the bill.
Read it yourself, don't follow what other internet activists at sites like gizmodo,nytime,prisonplanet etc have to say:

Use your own brain, follow your instinct and see what you stand on.
Personally, I follow 'First do no harm' idea. People are enraged because they can't do much like they've been doing.
For example, If I see you making threats against me, and file a case against you with all the evidences, you'll be put right behind the bars without any questions asked. This bill will make that to happen 101% more likelier than ever.
There are millions of computers acting as botnets(without users aware of it) which are contributing to dDOS. In simple language, there are trojans in your computers and you don't know about it and hackers are eating your bandwidth to target certain sites to go OFF. That has happened in last year, and I know my banking got affected. I want this to stop as well. CISPA could voluntarily/involuntariy warn you about it.
Facebook in a statement said, "The overriding goal of any cybersecurity bill should be to protect the security of networks and private data, and we take any concerns about how legislation might negatively impact Internet users’ privacy seriously. As a result, we’ve been engaging directly with key lawmakers as well as industry and consumer groups about potential changes to the bill to help address privacy concerns."
If we are to listen to what facebook said and seeing all these re-writing happening after it's been written, I'm pretty much sure this bill will get re-written over privacy concerns. Obama Adminstration has warned to veto to oppose this bill but they didn't and hopefully we'll see something new written. There must be reasons.
Just wait and see.
