This view isn't shared by many in DC... here's a blurb from today's Politico story on the passage: "For now, the two chambers just don’t see eye to eye on cybersecurity — and the House’s bill as written cannot pass the Senate or earn a signature from President Barack Obama. [...] But the Obama administration still isn’t sold on the House’s approach, which it threatened to veto earlier this week. Even after changes made at the eleventh hour that addressed some of its criticisms, the White House stayed silent after CISPA passed. Continue Reading The Senate, meanwhile, doesn’t yet have a proposal on information sharing or most other related areas of cybersecurity reform. And one of its top cybersecurity voices, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), slammed CISPA in particular Thursday for “insufficient” privacy protections, even as he praised the House for its progress." http://www.politico.com/story/2013/04/congress-still-at-cyber-odds-after-cispa-passage-90309.html -- Joseph Lorenzo Hall Senior Staff Technologist Center for Democracy & Technology 1634 I ST NW STE 1100 Washington DC 20006-4011 (p) 202-407-8825 (f) 202-637-0968 [email protected] PGP: https://josephhall.org/gpg-key -- Too many emails?
