Oh good, I was about to post about how fucking nothing this was, and then you beat me to it. Thanks!

For starters, this bill has literally nothing at all to do with SOPA.

Secondly, can someone explain why I should care? This isn't going to have any impact on me, let's not make a big deal over nothing, again.

nice to know you have no damn clue what sopa is and confused it with what sounds more like a cyber version of the patriot act. nice sensationlism you have going here. reading over the bill it's confirmed you have no clue what your talking about.

[Daerio]

Why should anyone care about the bill of rights, eh?

It's not like we need any of those things.

lol umm wow

Looks like they made a law to cover stuff they already do, but at least now there are limits on how long they can keep information. Still unconstitutional but maybe now that there is a law something can be done about that.

BTW SOPA is about online piracy, not spying.

I don't understand why we would vote against a bill which forces intelligence communities to audit and delete irrelevant data in the first place, because that's what that block of legalese says (Paragraph 3, subsection B) and as far as I know, a limit like that has never been placed on intelligence agencies.

4th amendment is pretty important stuff bro. It's related to all the other ones.

oh noz a bill confirming what we already know the nsa does. how horrible.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

This law is dangerous but it's not related to Sopa AT ALL!

[Elvine]

Isn't that the point though? Difference between knowing they do it and having a law allowing them to do it?

Pretty much. People need to Google stuff (at the very least) before they make
comparisons.

However, just because agencies are already doing something, doesn't mean it's
right or should be allowed.

no what your doing is engaging in click baiting. it's intellectually dishonest.
also we already know they did it and where above the law.

The thing in the spending bill basically shits on the bill of rights in the name of fear.
