CISA Security Bill Passes Senate With Privacy Flaws Unfixed
http://www.wired.com/2015/10/cisa-cybersecurity-information-sharing-act-passes-senate-vote-with-privacy-flaws/
FOR MONTHS, PRIVACY advocates have asked Congress to
kill or reform the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, a bill
that they say hides new government surveillance mechanisms in
the guise of security protections. Now the Senate has shot down
a series of attempts to change the legislation's most
controversial measures, and then passed it with those
privacy-invasive features fully intact.

You may recall that I predicted this area would overall get worse
post-Snowden, not better. I rest my case.
