Through the progress of Cyber Intelligence Sharing and the Protection Act dealing with the House and Senate, online activists and hackers are encouraging anti-CISPA protests. This passed Monday Anonymous affiliated websites planned a blackout. Many are trying to stop the bill from going through. Certain "organizations like the law [CISPA] because it makes it easier for them to share data about hacking without getting in trouble. In the last few months alone Apple, Facebook, and Twitter have all made a public to do about their company's security breaches." Anonymous points out that CISPA's most recent "iteration" is full of privacy protection related problems. In passing, the legislation would be allowing a private sector to access private data relating to U.S. citizens. Copyright.gov, the U.S.'s copyright website was involuntarily and temporarily taken down by the hacker group, Anonymous this last Monday, AKA the Blackout.
