Earlier this week, we heard that the House Intelligence Committee was going to reintroduce CISPA<\/a> after working with the White House on a revised bill that sufficiently addressed the Obama administration’s concerns. The news of a reworked, and potentially privacy friendly, CISPA was good while it lasted because the bill’s co-sponsors aren’t going to change a thing. <\/p>\n

The Hill<\/a> reports that House Intelligence Chairman Mike Rogers and ranking member Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger said that they will be reintroducing CISPA into the House next week. This new CISPA, however, will not be any different<\/a> from the old one. You know, the bill that the White House supposedly hates and threatened to veto. <\/a><\/p>\n

So, why did Ruppersberger say he was working with the White House on CISPA if they didn’t change anything? In a new statement, the Committee says that CISPA was “developed in close consultation with a broad range of private sector companies, trade groups, privacy and civil liberties advocates, and the executive branch.” If this is the same CISPA as before, I have a hard time believing the latter two groups had any kind of say at all in the formation of the bill. <\/p>\n

Of course, the White House might be totally behind CISPA this time around. Privacy was a big buzzword last year, and standing in defense of it could have easily net Obama some votes in November. Now that his job is secure for the next four years, his administration might be more open to at least considering controversial bills like CISPA. <\/p>\n

Oh, and for those privacy and civil liberties advocates that will undoubtedly come out against CISPA, Chairman Rogers thinks you got it all wrong: <\/p>\n

“We’re talking about exchanging packets of information, zeroes and ones, if you will, one hundred millions times a second. So some notion that this is a horrible invasion of content reading is wrong. It is not even close to that.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Good thing nobody knows how to capture and decode packets of information. <\/a><\/p>\n
