The bill is only 11 pages and is a fairly easy (for legislation) read. My initial pass through the bill I'm having trouble seeing what is wrong with it. This bill seems to simply allow federal intelligence agencies who are already collecting information on cyber-security threats to share that information with other governmental agencies and non-governmental entities. If the gov't has information that crackers are trying to hack the power grid I want them to be able to share that information with the power company, duh.
If someone can explain why this bill is actually bad I'll be happy to contact my rep, but right now I don't think it is.

- Goronmon 15y agoIt sounds like this gives the government the power to monitor the internet connections of anyone in order to see if they are doing things like infringing copyright.
- Goronmon 15y agoWoohoo, bring on the downvotes.
- camiller 15y agoIn the interest of discussion I up voted you, not sure who is down voting. Just out of curiosity, where in the bill does it suggest they could, by virtue of this bill, monitor anyone's connection. To me the bill seems to be about the sharing of information, not the collection of it. I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise.
