Angry internet users managed to stop SOPA in its tracks — but CISPA, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act introduced by Rep. Mike Rogers — is even farther reaching in the cooperation it would allow between the government and businesses to track online activity.
Cenk says, “They brought the Internet companies in and said, ‘Do the spying with us!’”
Rep. Ron Paul has spoken out strongly against CISPA, and online pressure seems to be making some others in Congress more wary about this week’s vote.
“It is a horrible bill and one you should fight aggressively against,” Cenk says.
