Comment on CISPA: Where’s The Outrage And The Anger That We Saw With SOPA?

Comments

tl;dr

"So if there was all this corporate rage over SOPA and PIPA why aren’t we seeing the same type of reaction when it comes to CISPA?

The short answer to this is because it doesn’t really change the way that they do business with the government and law enforcement agencies already, and contrary to what you would think companies like Facebook and Microsoft support CISPA.

It is important to realize that unless any requests for a person’s private information comes are part of a CISPA cybersecurity request companies aren’t ‘forced’ to share that information; but under CISPA when they do share that information they can no longer face any legal actions from anyone."
