‘CISPA Cybersecurity Bill Is Coming Back Wednesday’ – ‘Mashable’

Alex Fitzpatrick says, “The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Information Act, more commonly known as CISPA, will be reintroduced to the House of Representatives Wednesday, its authors announced Monday.

CISPA, a controversial cybersecurity bill, first passed the Republican-controlled House on a vote of 248-168 last April despite a veto threat from the White House. It was not picked up by the Democratic-controlled Senate, which was working on competing cybersecurity bills of its own which didn’t come to a vote.

CISPA’s authors told The Hill last week they have been working with the White House to mitigate the administration’s concerns over privacy, worries shared by many privacy advocates”.
