The U.S. House of Representatives yesterday approved a controversial cybersecurity bill that the Obama administration has threatened to veto, The Hill reported. Members approved the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), H.R. 3523, in a 248-168 vote. The bill was supported by 42 Democrats, while 28 Republicans opposed it. CISPA would make it easier for telecommunications companies to share information with the government about the threats facing their networks. The bill enjoyed strong bipartisan support before the administration issued a veto threat and sided with privacy advocates who argue that the bill does not do enough to protect consumers’ private information. The measure now moves to the Senate.
