Privacy concerns continue to dog the CISA (formerly CISPA) bill, but it easily passed out of the Senate Intelligence Committee yesterday. Pundits claim that the bill pits “big government – NSA, Homeland Security et al allegedly aided by Big Tech Companies” against privacy advocates who want less regulation of data and the internet. I’m not sure if it lines up that neatly however. See this short article with a summary of the committee process from Wired.Com.
Here is an advocacy website piece which supports defeat of he bill.
We will continue to monitor the path of the bill to see if it makes it to the Senate Floor for a vote. For the complete text of the bill, view it at this link.
