A tweaked version of the Cyberintelligence Sharing and Protection Act, known as Cispa, is expected to be voted on in the House  this week. The Center for Democracy and Technology said it could cede too much control to a military intelligence agency, while the American Civil Liberties Union organized a petition drive warning that the law could allow government surveillance over e-mail communications and location data of ordinary Internet users. Private firms should be required to try to “remove irrelevant personal information” when sharing cyber threat information with each other or with government agencies. “Citizens have a right to know that corporations will be held accountable – and not granted immunity – for failing to safeguard personal information adequately,” the White House said in a statement. http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/16/civil-liberties-fears-dooms-house-cybersecurity-bill/?smid=tw-nytimesbits&seid=auto
