Re: SOPA Tres: Revenge of the CISPA
Now let's see where it goes...

*shakes magic 8 ball* This will go nowhere for now. If it is going to be passed (especially in its current 'Wot is 4th amendment?' form), it will be after next fall's election.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

In the past, the president has signed things he has threatened to veto. :sigh:

Re: SOPA Tres: Revenge of the CISPA
or that "signing statement" bull****. 
I like to stare at the sun.

 
Re: SOPA Tres: Revenge of the CISPA
The Senate seems to not give two ****s about this bill, though, and it needs their approval too before it gets anywhere near the President.

I think, for the time being anyway, the bill is stuck. The Senate hasn't even begun debating on it, and they seemingly have no plans to anytime soon.

Re: SOPA Tres: Revenge of the CISPA
Seems familiar to something which came up here in the Netherlands many years ago. Here they wanted that going on the internet required you to verify with a person internet number/code. Then if there were suspicious or illegal websites, they hoped to be able to simply see which codes visited such a site to and confront that person. Thentime it was still considered impossible to do over here, as there were various ways to impersonate someone else, circumvent such a system, etc. That was about a decade ago by now I think, and mostly because of a surge in cp scandals and (back then still a new phenomnon of) phishing, not because of hacking. This sounds similar though, but more radical, and more vulnerable to abuse.

Senate won't be voting on it, looks like that's the last of it.  For now.
