What Privacy? CISPA Passes in Closed Door Vote.
CISPA just passed a closed door vote of the House Intelligence Committee 18 to 2. In 2012 the Internet community rose up in opposition to this bill, irritating many members of Congress. As we said last year, the powers that be were going to come back again to try to get it passed. And so they have. Washington wants to be able to put the lock down on the last free place in the world, the Internet, and eradicate any sense of Internet privacy if it can. It looks like we must fight them back again.
CISPA, the controversial bill that greatly threatens the privacy of anyone online, is making its way to Congress after passing in a closed-door vote by the House Intelligence Committee by a huge margin. There were no changes to the language to protect personal privacy. How is this happening after the internet so loudly cried foul, and why is it being ignored in the press? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
