The House of Representatives just passed the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), a dangerously overbroad bill that would allow companies to share our private and sensitive information with the government without a warrant and without proper oversight. CISPA gives companies the authority to share that information with the National Security Agency or other elements of the Department of Defense, who could keep it forever. The Obama administration earlier this week.
In a statement that we issued just after the House vote, 老澳门开奖结果 legislative counsel Michelle Richardson stated, 鈥淐ISPA goes too far for little reason. Cybersecurity does not have to mean abdication of Americans鈥� online privacy. As we鈥檝e seen repeatedly, once the government gets expansive national security authorities, there鈥檚 no going back. We encourage the Senate to let this horrible bill fade into obscurity.鈥�
We鈥檒l have more tomorrow about the vote and common sense steps that that Congress should take into account as the cybersecurity debate continues; stay tuned.
