CISPA: Who's For It, Who's Against It and How it Could Affect You

With the Houses passage of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection
Act, the bills proponents and opponents on both sides of the aisle are
gearing up for a fight over the legislation as it heads to the Senate.
Heres a quick look at whos for CISPA, whos against it and why.
.
Facebook, Microsoft, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce: Technology companies
have lent their support to the bill because they say it provides a simple
and effective way to share important cyber threat information with the
government.

.
Technology associations: The technology industry is fully behind the bill,
with associations such as Tech America, the Software & Information
Industry Association, the Business Software Alliance and the
Telecommunications Industry Association all applauding the Houses passage.
The common thread through all of the statements issued by industry groups
point to the fact that the bill allows companies to share vital
information with the government without giving additional power to any
part of it. An alternative bill in the Senate, co-sponsored by Sens. Joe
Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine), would grant that
oversight to the Department of Homeland Security.
.

.
There is also, however, bipartisan dissent on the bill. Rep. Ron Paul
(R-Tex.) said in a statement Monday that CISPA is Big Brother writ large,
putting the resources of private industry to work for the nefarious
purpose of spying on the American people. And Rep Jared Polis (D-Colo.)
made an impassioned speech against CISPA on the House floor, saying that
the bill would waive every single privacy law ever enacted.
.
The American Civil Liberties Union: In a statement, Michelle Richardson,
ACLU legislative counsel, said that CISPA goes too far for little reason.
Cybersecurity does not have to mean abdication of Americans online
privacy. As weve seen repeatedly, once the government gets expansive
national security authorities, theres no going back. We encourage the
Senate to let this horrible bill fade into obscurity.
.
Privacy advocates: The Center for Democracy and Technology, which withdrew
its support for the bill Wednesday, said it was disappointed that CISPA
passed the House in such flawed form and under such a flawed process.
While the group was pleased with some of the amendments, which tried to
narrow the scope and language of the bill, the group is concerned that
CISPA allows information to move from the private sector directly to the
NSA. They also said that the bill inappropriately allows for data to be
applied to national security issues other than cybersecurity.
.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation, which advocates for digital rights,
said in a late Thursday statement that it will continue to fight the bill
in the Senate. We will not stand idly by as the basic freedoms to read and
speak online without the shadow of government surveillance are endangered
by such overbroad legislative proposals, said Rainey Reitman, the EFFs
Activism Director.
