Jord200 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/stop-cispa-cyber-intelligence-sharing-and-protection-act/19sQhBpy Yes, its this BS again. And I don't mean British Soul when I say that. We've got until the 15th to get 100,000 sigs. Disc this annoyance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gαr Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I think I voiced my opinion on this subject quite clearly in your status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Silent Echo Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Wait...this is still a thing? Well, isn't that just wonderful. I don't suppose a Canadian like me could sign the petition somehow, could I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Fascist Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 This is retarded. Yes, I said retarded. I never say that. This not only damages well, the idea of fair use, it will flat out destroy some indie games like Minecraft, which rely heavily on player made content. It also affects business in a way. Let's say I run a store that sells cards. This would force it to close and now I'm out a job. Now apply this to things like Ebay and Amazon. How many people work at Amazon? Easily over 100, as a guess. Now take that and apply it to every store on the internet. Yeah. That's a couple thousand jobs here. The last thing the world economy needs is more job losses. Next, how will this work? As far as I am aware, the internet belongs to no one in particular, it is a worldwide service. Unless every country in the world agrees with this, I can't see how this can be implimented. Then there's the fact all the other attempts at this have failed. They know we don't want it. Remember SOPA? Remember GOOGLE, the biggest website in the world, had a server blackout? Google's opinion probably will not change, as they had a petition last time. I would like for this to just die and be done with forever. Also, the internet is one of the best creations ever, why should we just wreck it for no reason? Lastly, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hApUyX6ueGE It's a shame stupidity isn't a crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 So from what I understand, CISPA will be able to look in on our internet trafficking and see what we're doing, and that's what everyone is freaking out about, right? If it's more than that, please enlighten me. But in which case, this isn't the same as SOPA, which sought to suppress internet piracy. This is more about protection against foreign threats and rooting out potential inner turmoil. See, what I never got was why people care if the government knows what you're doing. No seriously, most of us here probably go on forums, Facebook, manga sites, [s]porn[/s], and stuff like that, right? Some guy in the government's not going to care about any of that crap. So what if they know you live in New Jersey and that you like anime? What're they gonna do? Honestly, the only thing people would have to worry about here is they can more easily find out if you've downloaded music, torrents, or stuff like that illegally. In which case I sympathize, but I can't blame them because it isn't legal and they're not going to justify your actions just because so many other people do that.

Zazubat Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 It's not going to happen. The people of the internet are too strong for a silly law to pass over. I have no worries at all. I signed it just so I can say I have, but without my vote, nothing would change, the internet would look no different from what it does today.

Tentacruel Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Sick of this fascist idiocy. This kind of utter assault on freedom happening so frequently and yet all people care about is whether or not gay people should be able to file a joint tax return. /rant Oh, and keep in mind that the petition just guarantee's a response, not results. And even if it DOES get shot down, they'll keep trying to push this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
