The US government has an unannounced strategy when it comes to privacy legislation. When one fails, start another one. That’s a flaw in US politics as it’s easy to spin out an endless stream of seemingly different pieces of legislation in an effort to make the end goal come true. In this case, it’s SOPA. The censorship bill was summarily quashed by the public, but more bills keep popping up like bad sequels to a terrible movie. This time, the target is TPP, and it’s not getting enough attention… just as the government knew it wouldn’t.
