Its worst because they use any the excuse of "National Security" to take down any site and person as with the sopa bill it was purely for piracy which isn't as broad. A great comparison was the classification of "terrorist" since it was hard to decide since if you believed in what they thought was right then there a freedom fighter if you don't they are a terrorist.

I don't really see this as being worse. CISPA allows the government to spy on your personal correspondence online. SOPA allowed private companies to shut down entire websites if they saw something of theirs illegally hosted on it. To me, giving private companies the power to shut down whatever they want is far worse. I already assumed that the government spied on our emails (including the fact that considering government agencies can get a subpoena to see them as is), so I guess this would just make it official.

Probably was their plan all along, "let's make a bill that's batshit insane and then introduce the one we really want so people think it's more reasonable."

Nope, still not reasonable. Quit trying to change the law to fit your idiotic and broken business model, MPAA/RIAA.

I wouldn't be surprised if this bill was their fallback plan in case SOPA/PIPA didn't go through, although considering the lulzy nature of the response by the MPAA/RIAA, I doubt they have the brian power to come up with something so elaborate.
None.
No matter how ugly something is as long as you put make up and veil on it no one will notice... this is what Cispa is.

Well, people can only conspire if they're smart enough to conspire.

You have yet to prove that the intelligence these people are low enough to assume they do not have the mental capacity to conspire.
EDIT:
I reject your assumption and so I reject your argument.
EDIT: FIEN should I say I reject your premise?

Apparently I'm not the only one who doesn't get how this is worse than (or comparable to) SOPA. Thank you Jeebus.

As far as I know, it's only comparable to SOPA in that it gives the government more control over the internet. That said, I still don't like it.
None.

Anyway, Fight for the Future told me to tell you guys:
Quote
Dear --,
Can you believe this? After the largest online protest in history, the Obama administration is still voicing support for SOPA.
We promised to ask for your help if SOPA returned. We're asking now. This kind of backtracking demands a strong, fast response. We're running a petition to demand that Obama drop all support for internet censorship.
Our goal? Get more signatures than the top petition on whitehouse.gov -- 151,000 signatures. Tell Obama to promise: "I will never advance legislation that blocks websites or disconnects Americans’ internet access.”
What is the White House working on exactly? Just the other day, the administration sent a letter to Congress to demonstrate their support for new internet censorship legislation. A few weeks ago, the White House struck a deal to give corporations private powers to shut down your internet connection (after "six strikes" without due process or judicial review), completely in secret.
Obama's internet would let private companies block sites and turn off our web connections. Blocking websites censors free speech, hurts jobs, and breaks the internet. These are tactics used by totalitarian governments and we believe they’re never ok.
Let's get more signatures than any petition on whitehouse.gov.
As Wired noted*, "The White House did say that it wouldn't endorse a bill that endangers freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risks, or negatively affects the DNS system. On the other hand, it says elsewhere that "combating online infringement" -- not protecting free speech -- is a governmental priority "of the highest order." What about free speech, Obama?
Sign the petition now, then share it to keep the internet strong. Our friends need to know where the President is currently standing on SOPA.
We couldn't have stopped SOPA and PIPA without you and all of your friends! And we can't do it without you now. Let's make sure SOPA 2.0 never gets written.
Thank you,
Tiffiniy, Zak, Fight for the Future!

Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.[06:50 pm]
NudeRaider -- VraelVrael shouted: Idk, I was looking more for a dehumidifer company which maybe stands out as a beacon of relief amidst damp and unpredictable climates of bustling metropolises. Not sure Amazon qualifies
sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city[06:50 pm]
Vrael -- Maybe here on the StarEdit Network I could look through the Forums for some Introductions to people who care about the Topics of Dehumidifiers and Carpet Cleaning?[06:48 pm]
Vrael -- Perhaps that utilizes cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly cleaning products?[06:47 pm]
Vrael -- Do you know anyone with a deep understanding of the unique characteristics of your carpets, ensuring they receive the specialized care they deserve?[06:45 pm]
NudeRaider -- VraelVrael shouted: I've also recently becoming interested in Carpet Cleaning, but I'd like to find someone with a reputation for unparalleled quality and attention to detail.
beats me, but I'd make sure to pick the epitome of excellence and nothing less.[06:41 pm]
Vrael -- It seems like I may need Introductions to multiple companies for the Topics that I care deeply about, even as early as Today, 6:03 am.[06:38 pm]
Vrael -- I need a go-to solution and someone who understands that Carpets are more than just decorative elements in my home.
