Copy paste SUCKS ? maybe not!! i put the source down below!!! okhay i will put down in my own words...
~ the first question asked on my network security class was.."who owns the Internet ?" The answer was NOBODY... so to me CISPA right now is trying to control the internet in name of Security. the internet needs to be free and open. i can, as of now, go to forums and talk about my dissatisfaction about the government without getting caught. heck this will change with the CISPA. maybe one day i would want to work in a government agency and the first thing they pull out of their drawer is my browsing logs!! my porn history? my atheist views ? pictures from my fb where i look passed out? So, instead of me being judged by my ability or knowledge i would be judged by my Internet activities.
u think 311 million people are hard to monitor ? i doubt that!!!
all u have to do is put the red flags when anyone types words like... Al qaeda... eff america... ..communism...n blah blah blah....
Also.. i use TOR ... not cause i am DDOSing websites in support of Anonymous...its just that i don't want google to be storing my browsing activities. I DONT .... i don't do criminal activities in Internet but still that doesn't mean that someone over the monitor needs to know what am i doing by reading "Communist manifesto" or what am i drinking in Starbucks.
i do see your points as well but with this bill PRIVACY is gone...
n the bill hasn't passed the Senate yet!! where the majority is democrats!!
Another news: Microsoft backed off from support of CISPA (looks like they joined the mob mentality)LOL

dont give up!! healthy discussions are fun!! :P
here are my two fav quotes:
