Boston Occupier Free Press: CISPA Follows SOPA in Attacking Internet Freedom by Kendra Moyer

The Cyber Information Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) was drafted by Representative Mike Rogers (R-Michigan) with the stated intention of protecting consumers and business owners by reducing intellectual property theft, identity theft, and perceived “cyber threats.” The bill was passed by the House of Representative in April 2012, as an amendment to the National Security Act of 1947. It has not yet come up in the Senate.

Those concerned with civil rights, privacy, and the freedom of information have expressed strong concerns about the bill.

Findlaw: First Arrest by Pilotless Drone Raises Fourth Amendment Questions:

The first American citizen to be arrested with the help of a pilotless drone in the U.S. is claiming his legal rights were violated when a drone flew overhead during a stand-off with police.

The Lakota, North Dakota, resident held police off for nearly 16 hours as he threatened to kill anyone who came on his property. (The stand-off took place over the ownership of six cows that had made their way onto the man’s property.)

The Department of Homeland Security eventually got involved. It used a drone to accurately pinpoint the man’s location on his farm. Then the arrest was made.

The novel facts of the case seem settled, but the outcome is not.
