CISPA returns as CISA — and it’s just as terrible for privacy

“Leave it to Congress to keep recycling the same old, rejected ideas.  You remember the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act: introduced in 2011 but failed to pass the Senate, then reintroduced in 2013 only to be beaten back a second time.  Senators, unlike weatherman Phil in ‘Groundhog Day,’ seemingly learn nothing from past experience.  If CISA seems out of step with the pushback against government surveillance, keep in mind that while threatening to veto CISPA last year for not adequately preventing the sharing of irrelevant personal information, President Barack Obama has also championed the idea of increased data sharing between government and the private sector.”
