Some highlights on some of the amendments made to the CISPA, or the Cybersecurity Intelligence Sharing And Protection Act highlight how the civil liberties would no longer exist when it comes to the internet as long as the word security is being used in the language.   That means it could be allowed to do anything with immunity for the companies and the government involved if your information is compromised.   It also means it can be used for any other purpose because who would know? In the final version of CISPA, Techdirt’s Leigh Breadon states the “government would be able to…
