can anyone tell us if any of google's lobbying prevented the web from being less free and censored? do they support CISPA which is using cyber security as an excuse to stifle free speech on facebook twitter and others?
This ZDNet article claims that, "Google helped with CISPA, joins Cybersecurity Theatre," and "CISPA’s author Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) has bragged that Google had, in fact, quietly worked with the bill’s authors behind the scenes."
>"They've been helpful and supportive of trying to find the right language in the bill," Rogers said, adding that Google wants to protect consumers' privacy and prevent regulation of the Internet.
It makes sense that they'd try to get in during the drafting phase instead of being on the outside looking in, ala SOPA.
