Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act
The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act ( CISPA ) is a bill in the United States that would allow the US government and technology and manufacturing companies to share information about Internet traffic . The aim of the bill is to enable the US government to investigate network threats and to ensure the security of networks against attacks.
The law was introduced on November 30, 2011 by Congressman Mike J. Rogers ( Republican , Michigan ) and other US politicians. It was passed in the House of Representatives on April 26, 2012, but not in the US Senate . President Obama's advisors argued that the bill would weaken privacy and civil liberties and advised him to veto it. In February 2013, the House of Representatives reintroduced the bill and passed it on April 18, 2013.
