CISPA Explainer #4: Is There Anything Besides Information-Sharing Hidden in CISPA?

We‘ve written extensively about CISPA over the last year, but since the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence is set to mark the bill up next week, and the full House to vote on it the week after that, we‘re dissecting its shortcomings. Information sharing isn‘t offensive per se; it‘s really a question of what can be shared, with whom, and what can they do with it. Previously, we‘ve discussed what information can be shared, with whom it can be shared with, and what corporations and government agencies can do with it after it‘s shared. Today we discuss if there‘s anything else in CISPA that you have to worry about.
