cispa, you know, had the white house veto threat against it. and it is still unclear whether or not something like it could pass the senate. >> john: we mentioned earlier about the backlash last year to sopa and pipa and the broad outrage. why do you think ryan, the backlash to this bill, this year, has been so much more muted? >> well, i think you have to -- when you're talking about sopa and pipa, you sort of have to separate those into a separate category. those were -- those protests online were really kind of the first of their time. it was -- you know, i don't know that we'll see anything like it for some time. those are sort of unique circumstances and they really -- you know, highlighted how the internet community can be a powerful voice in shaping public opinion on internet issues. but i also think it is going to be a lot more difficult going forward in building the kinds of protests that you saw with sopa and pipa, precisely because those were the first ones that made an impact. >> john: i understand the major corporations were the on

now last week the house once again passed cispa and this time they dragged the boston bombings into the debate over why suspect is needed republican congressman mike mccaul the chairman of house committee on homeland security said quote i think if anything the recent events in boston demonstrate that we have to that we have to come together to get this done in name in case of boston they were in the case of boston they were real bombs in this case they're digital bombs these bombs are on their way that's why this legislation is so urgent for if we don't and those digital bombs land and attack the united states and congress failed to act then congress has that on his hands. with the nation afraid of pressure cooker bombs congressman call warns us we should be afraid of digital bombs too and we should submit to this new cispa law we should give up our online privacy to confront this threat of so-called digital bombs still the critics of cispa are unswayed critics like gizmodo writer sam biddle contends that the bill is quote the greatest privacy disaster our country has ever faced in

review of what cispa does more to it what exactly is the legislation for and what does it do you did a pretty good job there but what it's for is its main purpose is information information sharing now that's going from the government to the private sector and from the private sector to the government so the government will share cybersecurity information they think is relevant to the private sector so they can be warned of potential attacks and on the flip side the private sector will provide whatever that is determined to be cyber threat information fairly general term so the government for their purposes so like if google thinks they're about to be hit by by cyber attack or they're investigating possible cyber threats they can take information from g. mail users or. users or whatever and take personal information handed over to the government based as true if they think that information is relevant in terms of being cyber threat information they can gather that information and hand it over to the government so how is in the bill what exactly is the definition of a cyber threat and

the amendment establishes with respect to cispa's requirements that the d.n.i. establish procedures to govern the sharing of classified cyberthreat intelligence, that this classified cyberthreat intelligence may only be used, retained, or further disclosed by a certified entity for cybersecurity purposes. as noted by the aclu in its statement of support for the amendment, it's consistent with the scope of information addressed in other parts of the bill. the straightforward enhancement will be one of many needed imprusmes to the bill that will ensure its target is well defined and only strengthens our national cybersecurity. with that, i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves for what purpose does the gentleman from michigan eek recognition? mr. rogers: while i do not oppose the amendment i ask unanimous consent to control the time in opposition. the chair: the gentleman is recognized in opposition for five minutes. mr. rogers: i do not oppose this amendment which says that classified information shared by the government with a cyberse

opponents because they say that it does more than what the authors say it does now the authors of cispa they say that this bill will lead to businesses private companies google facebook and many internet provider these companies will be encouraged to share information with the federal government that will be used to track down and monitor and curb cyber attacks aimed at the united states computer critics say that it puts too much of americans privacy at risk and that the right safeguards are there people would be sacrificing their privacy for a little bit of security when the bill was introduced back in february i believe one of the areas for the second time representative or one of the authors of the bill he said you know we can't have another nine eleven we can't have another terrorist attack it but if we do we will pass any law that needs to happen sure enough just another congressman who actually got up and said well look what happened in boston these were bombs sure they weren't digital bombs but the next ones will be digital bombs so we need to come together for the sake of nation

the cyber intelligence sharing and protection act, or cispa, is meant to protect cyber security. but critics of the bill say it doesn't do enough to protect privacy. ">>>"honestly speaking, our online activities, our wireless activities, have all been constantly scanned and recorded. private companies are doing that."" cispa has already passed the house of representatives, but president obama said he would veto the bill because of privacy concerns. the senate is expected to write its own version to address these issues. smokers beware....the days of lighting up on campus may be numbered. update news reporter jonathan lester has the story. ">>>the associated students is pushing to make san jose state a smoke-free campus. the current policy on campus is no smoking within 25 feet of doors or windows but that may be changing due to an initiative by the sjsu academic senate which pushed for a smoking ban on all csu campuses which includes any and every property that the university owns. leeta-rose ballester has been a smoker since she was in middle school says that as long as there is

cispa which is design to combat cyber security was passed on a very bipartisan basis in the house.re you have democrats who care much more about cyber security and national security voting for it and democrats who were concerned about privacy including, i might say, president obama. saying they're gulf of mexico it. >> he wants to veto it. >> he put out a veto threat. let me say when it come to cispa, the reason the privacy hawks are so concern is, that bill would allow you to get back at the people hacking at you. you can go burn down their house and you're immune from liability. really. >> so there's a question there about whether on the national security side, does that go too far? buzz the politics of this are fascinating. the old labels do not apply. this is not about democrat or republican or conservative. >> clearly. this is really about, are you a privacy hawk or a security hawk? >> we're going to keep our eye on and we'll keep you on as our resident privacy hawk on the next one. >> thanks. an unusual solution for america's prison problem. summer camp behind bars. >> i was

hey guys i'm abby martin in the breaking news set do you remember the uproar over cispa the all pervasive cyber security bill you know the one that would allow private companies to share the information they collect on you but the government women are not suspects back yet despite a white house veto on the bill the first time around it's been.

commerce and science and transportation which would be the one in charge of the senate version of cispa and. that that person spoke to several media outlets including u.s. news and world report and said that the senate doesn't seem to have any intention of picking up cisco in its current form so it seems like we might end up with a similar situation to what we had last year in two thousand and twelve also passed the house but it just did not move on to the senate were ever to the president's desk so it looks like it might just stall out again then he always has the veto power now let's go back to this topic being able to access pass words i understand that several states already banned this practice was etc now because it was such a last minute ad or because it's something that the states would deal with or because congress members really believe that employers should have uninvited access to workers' lives well it's an interesting issue and you know i think it. is one that people are increasingly going to have to grapple with both on the state and federal level you know lawmakers thems

you guys i'm having learned from the break in the set do you remember that uproar over cispa the all pervasive cyber security bill you know the one that would allow private companies to share the information they collect on you but the government would limit or not cisco's back up despite a white house veto on the bill the first time around it's been introduced yet again and the bill is just as invasive the as ever before which is why you and i need to make sure it doesn't pass its final vote in the house this week but on a more somber note there's a lot to be said about what happened in boston this week and what's happened since tensions are high and emotions raw i couldn't help but think to myself or watching the coverage on the news this kind of horror is what people experience on a daily basis in countries like yemen pakistan afghanistan and iraq much of which is at the hands of this government in fact in the same day as the boston bombings there was a wave of seventeen bombings across iraq that killed thirty three people look where to start thinking globally and start understand

>> guest: well, the banking sector generally supported the so-called cispa information, cyber information sharing protection act, i believe, is the acronym, which enables companies to share more information with the government protected from freedom of information act requests or other public disclosure. that might be the most, the most inhibiting deterrent to information sharing is the prospect that your information can be leaked to the general public and, in fact, putting a target on your forehead for the adversaries who now are better informed about your vulnerabilities, threats and attacks. where we're trying to push also in addition to information sharing human to human, the financial services sector coordinating council which is sort of the um well la organization -- umbrella organization that the isac is a member o w hve an r&d committee, research and development committee, where we have specified on ten major areas where we see a need for research to fill gaps in our capabilities. and one of those is realtime information sharing machine to machine that takes, that enables us to lo

most ironic in this recent revelation that they've been so vocal about the dangers implication of cispa passing on the worst of the bill is already being practiced entirely in secret but i guess that's the obama administration's m.o. violate our rights first codify those violations into law second. amidst the last weeks barrage of violence and tragedy all eyes were on the media for breaking news one such story from the associated press's official twitter account one o seven pm on april twenty third tweeted the following disturbing news that breaking two explosions in the white house and brock obama is injured while thousands of retreats instantly followed only to find out minutes later that the report was completely false when a p. revealed that their account had been hacked and they quickly redacted the story but not quickly enough for the economy to take a hit check this out the dow jones which was up suddenly plummeted within just two minutes of the tweet and then recovered just as quickly as the news was debunked. this reveals just how integrated social media has become with global
