.In an interesting and informative debate hosted by KQED public radio Joshua Johnson in San Francisco yesterday, several parties with strong opinions weighed in on the matter -- one that stirs up a plethora of questions.
.For instance, can CISPA really protect America from hackers who could do nefarious things such as shut down or blow up power plants? While the answer isnt cut and dried, certainly cyber terrorists could feasibly do a lot of harm. In fact, as Johnson pointed out, just this week Iran took several of its oil terminals offline due to fears hackers would program the machinery to self-destruct.
.And will fears about terrorism ultimately trump the popular desire to keep regular peoples data private? As we become more entrenched in all things online and the social data revolution continues to unfold, is a society reminiscent of Orwells Big Brother or -- to use a more modern prophecy from popular culture -- the movie Minority Report inescapable in years to come?
.These questions have no easy answers. The good news is that dialogue on the policy front and in the tech media is earnest and unrelenting. Here are what several experts had to say during yesterdays debate:
