I find opposition to this bill somewhat hilarious. On one hand on the front page right now, we have FBI soliciting the public for information after we've experienced a serious attack. Efforts are underway to crowdsource the identities of the perpetrators in a completely unstructured and privacy-invading manner on forums like Reddit (/r/findbostonbombers). On the other, we have people loudly complaining that companies shouldn't be able to do the same when they experience an attack. Sharing of this information would occur via structured records and include oversight and audits that get reported to the public. I think the problem is one of perspective. In the Boston bombings, it's incredibly simple to see the harm and it directly affects those being asked to share the information they have to help. In the persistent and ongoing computer intrusions that are now a reality for any successful business, the public is largely unaware and only indirectly affected by such events. Hence, why try to solve it?
