The Senate Intelligence Committee voted 14-1 to approve the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act. The bill would encourage businesses to share information about cyberthreats with each other and with government agencies. A group of 26 digital rights and privacy groups and 22 security experts signed a letter opposing that version. A similar bill, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act [CISPA] failed to pass through Congress in 2013 after online protests over the amount of information it would allow companies to share with other agencies. President Barack Obama called on Congress to pass a bill that includes privacy protections.”]
