There are blurbs about it here and there,but because of the marathon news,no one is paying attention .

Obomba can sign it into law now .

Fail

Obama still doesn't feel there are adequate consumer protection. He may still veto this.

I'm not sure about the 'media blackout' bit. I think it's easy to find info on this if wanted.

Looks like Obama MIGHT (?) veto it...

I ain't gonna hold my breath, though.

The House were always going to pass CISPA, just like they passed SOPA. The Senate is where it'll be stopped.

is it front page news? is it one of the "head line articles" on the scrolling news programmes?

No?

Then the media isn't talking about it beyond the perfunctory.

Rand Paul is in the senate. It won't go through.

No?

So, that is what qualifies as 'media blackout' nowadays?

That's a pretty weak argument.

It will be a disaster for the internet if it passes.
