CISA Security Bill: An F for Security But an A+ for Spying

“On Tuesday the bill’s authors released the full, updated text of the CISA legislation passed last week, and critics say the changes have done little to assuage their fears about wanton sharing of Americans’ private data. In fact, legal analysts say the changes actually widen the backdoor leading from private firms to intelligence agencies.  The bill, as worded, lets a private company share with the Department of Homeland Security any information construed as a cybersecurity threat ‘notwithstanding any other provision of law.’  And once the DHS obtains the information, it would automatically be shared with the NSA, the Department of Defense, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.”
