Obama signs Executive order for CISPA!?!?

Why are "liberals" such fascists now? It's crazy.

^^^^ Nice one ^^^^

executive orders are not law. so they can be ignored.

hey Matt, shut the fuck up. You are batshit crazy.

Did anyone else here on NPR that if you find a loop hole in network systems you can make millions by selling the loophole? To other countries or who will gainfully enjoy the loophole? Truly it is arms trading, legally.

I have to laugh. Picking my nose in front of you for my enjoyment. kidding

spelling on hear. Sorry getting late or early. resume

Despite broad industry support, CISPA alarmed privacy groups because it would would permit -- but not require -- Internet companies to hand over confidential customer records and communications to the U.S. National Security Agency and other intelligence and law enforcement agencies.

And one Great comment on the article.

The thing I don't get about the way these groups talk about "cyber security", is that they talk about the internet as if it is a single system, administered by one body. This seems more like a ploy for the government to be in bed with corporations than anything else, just a bit more official now.

The proper security of all these various systems is the individual responsibility of the companies (or dare I say government bodies) that operate them.

As far as the white house legislating through executive power, well, that is another issue altogether.

The ACLU sure does pick some odd things to cheer.

snip:

In fact, if the rumors are correct, President Obama will mention cybersecurity sometime in the State of the Union address tonight, and then will sign the executive order the administration has put together on Wednesday morning, to coincide with the reintroduction of CISPA in the afternoon. Basically, the use of the executive order is to put pressure on Congress to do something. There is still a hurdle from the Senate, since it supports a very different approach, but there's about to be a very, very big push on cybersecurity.

Either way, it's incredibly disappointing that CISPA's supporters didn't take the time to make some rather basic changes to protect privacy. Instead, they effectively use some broad language to more or less wipe out privacy protections on very broad terms, while doing nothing to keep any data shared from being further shared with other parts of the government. In other words, it's a ticket for widespread surveillance of Americans (as if we don't already have enough of that).

Fight For the Future has set up CISPAisBack.com to try to let folks in Congress know that bringing back the same extremely flawed bill is a mistake. That's one way to contact your Representatives, though just calling their office directly would also be a good idea.

Here big brother, let me drop my pants so you can

KISS MY ASS!!!


I do what I want and I encrypt what I want. If you can secure your own comms you're too week and pitiful to worry about.

Good luck finding out what I'm saying when I don't want you to.

Social security is now being called cyber security? Is that what you are saying?

YOU COWARDS DESERVE EVERYTHING YOUR GONNA GET. YOU ALL PULLED THE LEVER ON ELECTION DAY ! TO PERPETUATE A SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS YOUR LEADERS TO DO THIS TYPE OF THING. NOW SUCK IT UP AND DON'T BITCH !

I predict a major Cyber attack to help bolster support of this order.

also "we" didnt do this. its much more likely TPTB committed massive voter fraud to keep the arab Soebarkah in office.

I don't think "we" had any say in the matter

Dorner would be proud

Let one go before SCOTUS and you will see...

and this is the reason he is not eligible.

EXACTLY RIGHT!! When we see our loved ones dead all around us...we will have wished we had done SOMETHING!!! Vision 3-4 of YOUR family members slung in a Fema Coffin- see their faces yet?? Thats when the stinging pain will hit you and never leave!!

how many times was this shit stomped out anyways? you think fuckers are gonna quit? whatever it takes son.

the best part is a huge portion of the country is unemployed, no more excuses eh.

Guess this is what you get for paying tax

I think there is something already happening, on a much larger scale than CISPA.

I think that large companies such as Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, etc., have given the feds access to their video servers, as well as other customer information databases.
No warrants necessary!

I started noticing, a couple of years ago, how quickly some suspects in high profile cases were identified and tracked. Invariably, they had purchased items used in their crimes, in one of the big-name stores.

The next time you go to Walmart, look at all those cameras on the roof. There wasn't nearly that many just a short time ago. Do they really need that many cameras to protect themselves from liability lawsuits if something happens in the parking lot? No! Are they set up so they can continuously track someone from their vehicle to the front entrance? Yes! Could they possibly even read a license plate as the vehicle leaves the parking lot? Yes! Why? Are they used to identify and prosecute shoplifters after they have left the parking lot? No! When was the last time you heard of a shoplifter being arrested after they had left the property?

When you walk up to the sliding entrance door, look carefully at the frame the door slides on, about five feet off the floor. See that little glass dot? That's a camera, too. It takes a very good "mugshot" photo of you, as you go shopping.

When you get to the register and swipe your debit card, in front of more cameras, Walmart has a very complete identification dossier built around you. TPTB with a little facial recognition software, along with some data-mining software, could easily and economically build a detailed database of most American citizens. Comforting, yes?

As an interesting aside, My girlfriend and I were looking at seafood recipes on the internet, a few nights ago. The next day, Sam's Club sent me an email advertising their various seafood entrees.

Sometimes it feels like, somebody's watching me.

anyone heard of the saying...how do you boil a frog without him knowing? answer=slowly which has happened to all of us over time..this is our destiny and it will happen! just when?
there is alot of shit coming our way and is already here depending on what country you live.
the WAR is against us the people not terrorists or drugs or crime or anything else its always been about the average joe getting creamed to keep fear over us so we can be controlled ffs ppl we are the answer and we are the enemy of tptb..we need to stick together regardless of ANY differences we might have.

why do you have your head so far up your A**?

there is no line stupid. Except the line that separates stupid (ie you) from the awake.

This all started in force (was happening too slowly before) on Sept 11, 2001. ie. Bushie and neocons. Not saying they are at fault. They are all the same. All of them.

Frame_work "will be updated (changed) as necessary"

"and other interested entities" (too vague)

That is a great name for a large suppository... the 'Hellfire'.

srsly? please riot now over it

Yep. I have no faith in Americans anymore. Cowards.

Every pres since Reagan, who gave us Rex 84, has been adding to the stack. Bush II Patriot Act got it in high gear. Don't blame this all on the imposter.

Don't waste your time.

"the executive order allows the US Department of Homeland Security to create channels in which information can flow, but it does not define how this can be done without violating the privacy of ordinary citizens."

"Privacy and digital rights may take a back seat as the assessment of privacy concerns and civil liberties risks is being kept in-house."
