This piece shows that the ruling One Percent, who operate what passes as "our government", is already doing what CISPA would make much easier for them to do--spy on us. In other words, our masters want to streamline surveillance over our private lives by enacting CISPA, but if that law fails once again, they will spy on us anyway--it will be just much less convenient.
One of the major privacy concerns fueling opposition to CISPA is that the legislation would permit the private sector to acquire and search sensitive data relating to U.S. citizens between corporations and the government. However, according to government documents obtained by the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), such personal data sharing and surveillance is well underway already, while CISPA is yet to come up for a Senate vote.
