The internet has been compromised.

In the past, the internet was a place of free censorship and expression, but it is slowly changing. Corporations and agencies believe that too much threats exist on the internet to let it stay unsecured. They want to pass bills like SOPA, PIPA, CISPA, and ACTA to have better protection against intellectual property, but to what extent should their power be limited too? The wordiness and broadness of each bill address piracy as their main concern, but after great scrutiny, it is apparent that the bills are worded to give government complete control over the cyberspace. It gives agencies the power to spy on their own citizens without any laws interfering them. It allows them to make their own decision on which internet sites to blacklist of not. Without the user's permission, government agencies can siff through your email. Proponents claims that the bills measure is limited enough to protect privacy and prevent government abuse, but civil-liberties groups have launched a "week of action" to call attention to what they consider CISPA's "dangerously vague" language, which they argue could lead to widespread government monitoring of citizens' communication. Many activist began to organize meetings and groups to oppose the bills. One bill that caught the attention of many is SOPA, Stop online Piracy Act, which expressed great public outcry and was one of the many causes of the occupy movement. Through social media and technology, word spread about the SOPA, and was quickly taken off the agenda. Lawmakers then secretly one after another conjure up bills that are worded differently, but are almost identical in objective. Some will agree that piracy is illegal, but who will be the ones to enforce legal boundaries with the respect of it's users privacy concerns? The main argument of big corporations and agencies is that piracy and illegal downloads are like stealing and are a putting citizens out of work. They say that pirating is a result of 373,375 jobs (clemmit), but in reality corporations and government agencies are the ones that gain the most money and benefit from these bills, not for the safety of the general public.
