Security News 4/19

CISPA, if you have not heard, is the new PIPA and SOPA.  But you know its bad when the White House says something along the lines of "uh, this isn't the greatest idea".

White House raises concerns over CISPA bill

In a nutshell, this bill would allow ISPs to monitor you- and gather any information that they want to on you if they feel you are a threat. Not too outside the realm of how it works now, but there is NOTHING written in the bill that would keep them from accessing your private emails, chats and Facebook posts.  All they would have to say is "cybersecurity threat!!!!" and off they would go.

The idea behind the bill is sound, but I want my freaking private stuff kept private.  It's none of anyone's business if I want to send my husband a dirty email. >.<
