New Cybersecurity Act Would Undermine FOIA and Whistleblower Protections
With all the uproar over the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA)—both of which prompted widespread online protests—it was easy to forget that the Senate had another cybersecurity bill in the works. But on Tuesday, a group of Senate committee leaders started rushing passage of the Cybersecurity Act of 2012(S.2105). Although this cybersecurity bill doesn’t include the SOPA/PIPA executive “kill switch“—it still threatens to undermine whistleblowers, FOIA, and open government efforts.
