http://www.cispaisback.org/ Wrote:What's wrong with CISPA? (in as few words as possible)

As it's written, CISPA won't protect us from cyber threats, but it will violate our 4th Amendment right to privacy.
  • It lets the government spy on you without a warrant.

  • It makes it so you can’t even find out about it after the fact.

  • It makes it so companies can’t be sued when they do illegal things with your data.

  • It allows corporations to cyber-attack each other and individuals outside of the law.

  • It makes every privacy policy on the web a moot point, and violates the 4th amendment.

Imagine the tweets then. If they think this is bad right now, then they've got another thing coming, and Twitter may also need another set of servers Toungue.
Anonymous (group) has already caught on to it. I've been following their actions on Twitter.

The US President has been advised to Veto the bill, and there is a large petition on WeThePeople that the US Whitehouse will have to respond to... so TBH, I have faith that it won't get signed into law.
