to one hundred sixty eight the house passed the cyber intelligence sharing and protection act for cispa now the vote was supposed to be taken today and in addition to passing with flying colors several more amendments were added to the bill and the purpose of this legislation is to expand information sharing capabilities between the federal government and private companies and in addition to allowing the government to access online information for the purposes of national security and cybersecurity it now also allows the reasons of investigation and prosecution of cyber security problem crime to be used so any hacking or network disruptions you might be suspected of and the government can access your information essentially the house of the u.s. house of representatives is saying in no uncertain terms that the unreasonable searches and seizures prohibited by the fourth amendment those are in fact allowed when it comes to the internet despite such a large show of support in the form of votes though there were plenty of critics of the bill as well but this bill had a privacy policy it wou

and inspected by government snoopers the latest attempt to push through a cybersecurity bill called cispa has passed a major hurdle having been approved by the house of representatives to canon washington explains why internet users and civil liberties groups are furious. cisco would make it legal for service providers like google microsoft facebook to funnel private communications and other user related information to u.s. authorities it would provide the government with unhindered access to private correspondence of every american and mind you it's not just the americans using their services we're talking about your net users from all over the world so that would be done in the name of cyber security they called it cyber intelligence sharing and protection act critics argue who does protect is those providers the likes of microsoft google and others and there is strongly lobbying for the law because analysts say it's not like the companies are not sharing information with u.s. authorities already and your correspondence cannot be monitored it can't but under existing laws the companies

sounding bills on the hill that stand very little chance of becoming law so should we worry about cispa let's the question i posed to dave seaman he's been covering the issue at length and here is his take. well for one reason you should care because it stands a very good chance of becoming law has more than one hundred co-sponsors in congress and unlike sopa which had a huge online outrage from the public and tech companies alike this one actually has the support of key tech companies with sopo which failed there was a petition that was linked from the home page of google and major web properties including read it and we can pedia went dark to protest that they're probably not going to do that this time around assist pose a very real threat and at this point it very well could become law within a matter of it with a very short period of time and the white house has expressed concerns but don't want that reassure you too much because they also expressed concerns about n.d.a. and then obama signed into law on new year's eve and expressed concerns about other bills that have been become l

and it is stopping cyber spying weeks we're going to talk about the new effort to mobilize against cispa i'll ask what it really takes to make an internet protest a success i'll have all that more for tonight including a dose of happy hour but first take a look at the mainstream media has decided to miss. right so president obama arrived in colombia this weekend for the summit of the americas to meet with more than thirty other heads of state and thanks to an embarrassing episode of a secret service before the president got there when it's free media is going crazy . not so secret service if you pay for those and presidential the shakedown the white house just wants to go away new fallout this morning on the prostitution scandal rocking the u.s. secret service president obama has made it clear there will be a thorough and rigorous investigation into an alleged sex scandal involving the secret service and the u.s. military secret service sex scandal the levin secret service agents and officers and five u.s. troops working with them they supposedly brought the prostitutes to this hotel in

should and so hopefully no matter what happens on friday that this will never become law now even if cispa doesn't pass i guess the question now is what's coming next week so we saw they were both shot down after this firestorm of opposition to these bills now we see says by some people say it's worse than than both of those bells is is this the beginning of more bills like this that we can look forward to that that. could curtail our freedoms online. well i think congress has definitely had its i don't regulate it or for the last few years we will see more bills come to the forefront and they try to do that in different ways this is different and so as because so it was about copyright censorship this is more about privacy and surveillance still very serious issues more serious perhaps. but we do see that people are starting to pay more attention which is great news and there are cocked contacting their congressmen early and the congress is now force forced to listen after the super debates before this over the base congress didn't want to go she they didn't want to listen to users but no

continuing our coverage of cyber spying week we've learned that the white house has stepped in on cispa sort of he was talking about the bill on the show this is the one that would allow the government to monitor share hold on to any communications discovered by private companies and quite understandably privacy advocates have been up in arms so many times to shush the outcry that wasn't relevant committee revise their bill to try and clear a few things up for their visions included a new definition of what a cyber threat really is and a requirement for homeland security to have access to all of the data who shared with the government but a lot of the opposition has already pointed out that even the slight change in definition for a cyber threat that they made is still far too broad and the system version she will also give people or companies the ability to sue the government if it mishandles the information but it still leaves one major question out there unanswered how are we going to know if or when the government makes a mistake if all of the surveillance is being done behind close

pa -- cispa. this amendment will not significantly expand the scope of the legislation but instead will help prevent interpretations of language that could be contrary to the committee's intent which i believe is the same as mine. now, while i recognize that any regulation of critical infrastructure would be outside the intelligence committee' jurisdiction, i nonetheless want to take this opportunity to voice my strong conviction that our efforts must not stop with the legislation there that we're considering this week. just as the airline industry must follow federal aviation safety standards, companies that own and operate the infrastructure on which the public most relies should be accountable for protecting their consumers when confronted with a significant risk. i, along with many members of both sides of the aisle and experts within and outside of government have come to the same basic conclusion. the status quo of voluntary action will not result in strong cyberprotections from our -- for o

cispa asks americans to once again make a false choice between security and liberty. now, we all agree on both sides of the aisle, americans in general that cybersecurity is an important issue that needs to be addressed. that's why it's critical that we get information sharing correct. this bill in its current form before us is an unprecedented, sweeping piece of legislation that would waive every single privacy law ever enacted in the name of cybersecurity. it would even waive the terms of service, supersede the terms of service that most american consumers, american people believe that they're entering into a contract with a provider of a website or service of their choice. that information, without any safeguards, would be shared to the government. as a former tech entrepreneur myself, i know how important cybersecurity is, frankly, it's something i've never thought we could rely on the government to do for us and i think a lot of tech companies feel the samey. -- the same way. but that doesn't mean in the effort for expediency we should give up our privacy rights

from online magazine spied things the cispa bill is one of the latest attempts by the u.s. government to limit the first amendment rights of its citizens. can anyone actually name a significant act of cyber terrorism that has happened in the west ever know because it never has done it's an imagined threat and it's an imagined threat which now threatens our freedom online i don't think this is about internet security i think it's about national security generally i think this act is more likely to be used to control and monitor efforts to organize terrorist attacks offline now the danger with that is that in america specifically we've recently had arrests of individuals for encouraging al-qaeda sympathies now that used to not be possible in the. american legal system because of the first amendment because of these recent cases there's a radical reinterpretation under way of the first amendment and more broadly free speech is a position in american society so i don't think we should be concerned about those that small minority you know try and shut down master card for anothe

internet users are bracing themselves for more protests over the new controversial cyber security act cispa that threatens online privacy the bill was passed in the u.s. house of representatives and is now waiting for a green light or veto but president obama approved it would put u.s. based internet companies to legally share private user data with the american government internet activists and swards explains why he thinks a campaign is a revolt against the bill. the previous bills were about giving the government the power to censor the internet and this is more like a patriot act the internet it sort of lets the government run roughshod over privacy protections and share personal data about you take it from facebook and other providers and use it without the normal privacy protections that are in the law big corporations are supporting this bill especially the big corporations that make money off of violating people's privacy so it's not a big surprise they're in favor but what we're seeing is that the same way grassroots efforts were able to stop sopa despite millions of dollars of hol
