The Stop Online Piracy Act was proposed in January of 2012. SOPA was a piece of legislation that attempted to prevent piracy through DNS blocking and censorship. The legislation caused protests and blackouts of numerous online Internet services including Reddit, 4Chan, Google, Wikipedia, Mozilla and Tumblr. Now, Internet users are facing another possible challenge called the Cyber ​​Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, or CISPA. CISPA was quickly passed by the House of Representatives on April 26, 2012 and is now before the Senate (Beadon).

To some, CISPA appears like SOPA 2.0, another attempt to further limit American rights and privacy. Meanwhile, for others, CISPA appears as a milestone to be achieved to advance technologically and improve the nation's security. CISPA's purpose seems noble, but the current version of the legislation requires at least revision due to its privacy-invading policies, vague terminology, possible restrictions on Internet freedom, and violation of the Fourth Amendment. Many people, including some corporate leaders like Reddit and the founders of Mozilla, are disappointed by the imperfect form that CISPA was in when it was rushed to the House of Representatives.
