My question is who still thinks that anything on some server, anywhere, is actually private and/or protected?

Covered the other night on Real News from the Blaze. Don't have time to recap but to summarize it allows government to legally read your emails, but they "promise" not to actually do it.

From what i have read it can be used as a warrant less search of your online presence.

And just when the Republicans find something to use to get rid of a bunch of swing staters, they go and piss it away with this. Fantastic.

I have a few that I can guarantee are, at least without a subpoena or warrant.

Ah, what is this Privacy thing you're talking about! Gracious, that sounds like some kind of ancient concept! Don't you know, all of this is for our protection!? [Bang]

Anything done on the internet is there forever! Very few companies guarantee they don't keep logs (usenet is all I can think of).

We're so far down the path now I have a hard time even remembering the place we left! [Bang]

[Kraven251]

it's called anything that isn't business related goes in the bit bucket. I delete every damn thing.

CISPA should be rewritten, there should be some type of protection for content providers and owners of infrastructure but there need to be limits to how and what can and will be shared, CISPA does not provide limits and will backfire in the faces of those who have written it.

One Government disappointment after another.

Does a great job explaining how screwed we are

Just a little FYI- I heard this morning that it failed in a senate committee and is now, for all intents and purposes, dead.

Anyone using Gmail, Yahoo mail or outlook.com for their primary e-mail services has no call to bitching about CISPA or anything else affecting privacy. What Google does to invade your privacy every day would give Eric Holder wet dreams for the rest of his life.

Gmail ain't the gubment. If the most nefarious thing the gubment wanted to do to me was use my emails to better market advertisements to me my life would be a LOT less stressful than it is.

Google is a lot better at deriving data than most of the "gubment". They know who you're talking to, how often and what about. What'd you pay for your house, the loan terms, how often you water the lawn ... hell, they probably know what kind of appliances you have and how old they are. I'd be happy if the government just got my mailing address right.

Yeah, and the key difference here is what is done with that detailed information. Marketing. Advertising. The government can't get your address right but that doesn't mean they won't strip you of your rights, freedom and life based on the misinformation they got. How is that the same? I don't get how people can even put these two things on the same page.
