bullshit. That's just an excuse for apathy. Sorry to jump all over you but I've heard that way too much lately. First of all, the meaning of safety and security both depend on many factors. It makes a lot of difference whether we're talking about tracking cookies or terrorist activity, Anon script kiddies or freaking NSA. It's when you talk about cybersecurity as one big fungible mess that you get stupidity like this bill. Chinese government hackers fall in the category of cybersecurity, sure. Hollywood has a cybersecurity problem if their stuff is getting posted on the web, sure, but it's a different type of cybersecurity problem and some might say a licensing model problem. Similarly, I think the authors of this bill see the use of Twitter by Occupy activists as a cybersecurity problem because it involves the internet and Occupy makes them feel insecure ;P but I submit that it's not really, until you criminalize protest, so some might say that it's really a free speech problem ;) But if we throw up our hands over theis because Facebook can't seem to understand that it should abide by its own terms of service -- which is a cybersecurity problem for you and me imho -- then we may as well kiss the internet goodbye. Sure, we should all take precautions anyway. But a web service that *knows* it is being use to organize an Arab Spring has a responsibility to put some safeguards in place also, and it's the corporate responsibility part that is so shockingly lacking in CISPA.
