CISPA: Just another acronym.

Up for vote in the nearing weeks is a new act, similar to those voted down previously.  The Cyber and Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) allows the government to gain access to any private information stored by any corporation using internet means, no warrant necessary.  CISPA would allow anything and everything you do online to be shared and stored by different agencies.  Many are questioning this bill as it is vague and does not clearly distinguish itself from former bills that have been voted down.  Do you think the government is overstepping their boundaries by approaching internet security using constant surveillance?  Although many large corporations are standing behind CISPA, the bill is far too unclear to be voted through.
