postheadericon CISPA's Sponsor Can't Even Keep His Story Straight About NSA Having Access To Your Data

do what they did last year when facing a serious opposition to a terrible toll: to lie about it. First, they released a "fact against the myth" sheet on the bill that was so ridiculously misleading EFF also had to pick up almost all of the dubious requests. Much of this is trying to hide the fact that the project Bill has a very broad definition that will make it much easier for the NSA to access private data. Nobody said it allows the NSA to automatically complete "surveillance" by Cispa, but it is what supporters Cispa pretend

critics have said, they can to fight against the straw man.
Thing amazing is that CISPA supporters statements are themselves quite contradictory. Take, for example, statements Cispa hilarious Mike Rogers Sponsor Politico, which is to "respond" to critics who worry Cispa used by the NSA. Read comments carefully, and see that it will say that the NSA has nothing to do with it, to say that the definitions are broad (hence perhaps the NSA will have something to do with it) and then that NSA is the best in this area, so I should be able to use Cispa to access private information. While few sentences. The full Rogers .. "I do not know where they get it does not say that the bill
NSA are not allowed to watch. This is not a bill monitoring If you read the Bill - I encourage groups to actually read the bill of privacy - you will not find that in the draft law ....

We are agnostic on how the government would [an information exchange system]. Some want to DHS, some want others We believe we will be agnostic on this part so you get the right system. But if you do not have the capacity of NSA take this information to the Iranians and the North Koreans and others, and will return in the system, it is useless.

And if you want the gold standard protection of cyber attacks, the NSA must be at least part

. They should not, do not have to be the leader, but they are those who have the ability to collect abroad. "



So basically, it's an exaggeration that the NSA can access data ... uh ... I mean, not really clear, so I'll leave the Federal make their own decisions later, when his public scrutiny outside and ... oh yeah,
course want the NSA to access data as they are government the "gold standard."
This will not put privacy issues to rest now, right? Rogers problem is that it pretends reviews confidentiality that c is a "monitoring" ongoing project rather than the NSA may have access to private data. As far as I know, no privacy groups protested Cispa made this statement or an invoice monitoring. They are only concerned how Cispa destroyed (literally erases) the protection of privacy for companies that provide private information to the government. Basically, the end of his statement
confirms exactly
