CISPA Bill Sparks Concern Over Potential SOPA 2.0

SOPA 2.0? New Bill Has Internet Activists Scared -- Again

In spite of their hopes, Internet activists are finding that their efforts to keep the digital world free of further regulation did not end with SOPA's defeat.

The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011 is working its way through Congress, and is the latest proposed legislation to raise concerns among privacy activists. Introduced in November by Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) and Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.), the stated goal of CISPA is to create new channels for communication between government intelligence entities and private firms regarding potential and emerging cyber-security threats.
