Civil-liberties groups have various objections to the bill.
.
The ACLU conjures up a problematic scenario that could happen if it
passes. "Imagine you are emailing your doctor from your Gmail account
about a medical condition. Your doctor pulls up your medical records from
his cloud storage server and sends them your way. Somewhere in that
communication, a virus crops up," staffer Zachary Katznelson writes.
"Under CISPA, Google could send your emails, including the electronic copy
of your medical records, to the NSA, so they can gather information on the
virus. But, Google would be under no obligation whatsoever to scrub out
your private details -- which have nothing to do with the virus. And now
your medical records are in government hands indefinitely -- and the
government can use them."

Critics of CISPA are right to be wary, for all of the aforementioned
reasons specific to the legislation -- but also because of the abysmal
record that government and industry have amassed lately. The Bush
Administration engaged in illegal warrantless wiretapping for years. All
the while, the National Security Agency collaborated with America's major
telecommunications companies. AT&T gave government officials unsupervised
access to all data flowing through major hubs, including email messages,
phone calls, web-browsing data, and private network traffic.
.
When the NSA program was finally revealed, Bush Administration officials
weren't prosecuted and jailed. In fact, Thomas Drake, an NSA whistleblower
who complained about a separate warrantless surveillance project, was
prosecuted by both the Bush and the Obama Administrations.
.
This helps explain why civil libertarians are perturbed. Take Sanchez.
Explaining why he wasn't satisfied by some of the last minute safeguards
added onto CISPA, he cited recent history:
.
When civil liberties advocates cried foul at the prospect of such vast
quantities of private data being handed over to government on a silver
platter, the bill's supporters tried to placate them by tacking on an
array of after-the-fact anonymization requirements and use restrictions --
forbidding the use of the data except for a "cybersecurity purpose" or for
"the protection of the national security of the United States."
