Big Brother Returns as 'Son of SOPA': ""CISPA would allow [Internet Service Providers], social networking sites, and anyone else handling Internet communications to monitor users and pass information to the government without any judicial oversight," writes Rainey Reitman of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
In other words, concepts such as "probable cause" or even "reasonable suspicion" would no longer apply.
What sort of information are we talking about, though? And who would be reviewing it?
According to the American Civil Liberties Union, this legislation "would give the government, including military spy agencies, unprecedented powers to snoop through people's personal information - medical records, private emails, financial information - all without a warrant, proper oversight or limits."
Translation? "Big Brother is watching you.""
