CISPA is changing at the margins but it still has four major problems:
An overly broad, almost unlimited definition of the information can be shared with government agencies. And because that info is shared “notwithstanding any law,” CISPA trumps any federal or state privacy law that currently prohibits disclosure.
Enactment is likely to lead to expansion of the government’s role in the monitoring of private communications.
It could shift control of government cybersecurity efforts from civilian agencies to the NSA.
It creates a backdoor wiretap program because the information shared with the government isn’t limited to just cybersecurity, but could also be used for other purposes, such as law enforcement or by intelligence agencies.
