back? it goes into vote in less than 72 hours.

CISPA has been around for weeks, and it's really not that bad.

Not that bad?

How is "monitoring email, filtering content, or even blocking access to sites" not bad?

CISPA would allow the government, companies and ISPs to have potential access to your private information, all in the name of "Cybersecurity". Please tell me how that isn't bad.

It's only going to be used when its appropriate and when the circumstances call for it. I'm sorry you're misinformed in that you perceive this as a surveillance bill when you have little to no actual knowledge on the topic, but I'd like to reassure you, it's not SOPA, it's not PIPA, and in all likelihood, it doesn't concern you.

The title is extremely misleading - it has nothing to do with SOPA and isn't even close to it.

That said, there are some aspects of CISPA that are indeed alarming.
