As reported this week, several major companies, including many high-tech companies, have signed a letter that takes action on legislation relating data, including similar legislation in CISA (law on information sharing on cyber security). If passed, CISA and would encourage companies to share user data with the government and the other
The support came in the form of a letter from the BSA. The Software Alliance that the companies have signed, which "requested action" on several bills, including Cyber Threat Information Sharing Legislation . Most of the points raised in the letter seem to reflect the objectives of the CISA, although the letter does not specifically approved CISA. As stated in the letter, a data-sharing law "will promote cybersecurity and protect sensitive information by allowing private players in possession of information on vulnerability and intrusion to more easily share this information willingly with others under threat . "
This is a rather surprising turn of events, considering many of these companies steps to protect user data and fight against the backdoor encryption for purposes of application of the law previously backed . CISA is a dangerous piece of legislation, and in substance a draft monitoring law. If passed, it would greatly expand the power of governments and companies to spy on people by accessing their user data and communications. We are strongly opposed to CISA, and any law that has similar goals.
