The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance.

CISPA Passes House

Submitted by HPI on Thu, 04/26/2012 - 22:07

The notorious Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act passed the U.S. House today. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa (D, Dist 1 - urban Honolulu) voted in favor of the privacy-busting bill. Rep. Mazie Hirono (D, Dist 2 - rural Oahu and neighbor islands) didn't vote.

Forbes

Despite growing resistance to the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, CISPA has cleared its first legislative hurdle. But the battle over the widely-criticized information-sharing bill is just heating up.

In an earlier-than-expected vote Thursday evening, the House of Representatives voted 248 to 168 in favor of the bill, which was originally designed to allow more sharing of cybersecurity threat information with government agencies.

The legislation has drawn the ire of legislators, civil liberties groups, security practitioners and professors, and hundreds of thousands of petitioners, who say the bill tramples over users’ privacy rights as it allows Web firms like Google and Facebook to give private users’ information to government agencies irrespective of other laws that protect users’ privacy. “It’s basically a privacy nightmare,” says Trevor Timm, a lawyer and activist with the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “CISPA would allow companies to hand over private data to the government without a warrant, without anonymity, with no judicial review.”
