“Only a few days after the OPM hack, Senate leaders tacked on the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) to a defense bill to avoid debate on the measure. It didn’t work – the Senate failed to advance the legislation. It’s no wonder they didn’t want a debate. CISA provides liability protection for businesses that voluntarily share “cyberthreat” data with the government. But it also creates a back-door channel for government agencies to retrieve, analyze, and store enormous volumes of personal data. And since information sharing would be voluntary, the government would be able to obtain all of this information without a warrant. Think of it as an ‘e-PATRIOT Act.'”
