WILL PEOPLE USE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO INSERT STRONG PRIVACY/ACCOUNTABILITY RULES? Senate begins to move on cybersecurity. “The Democratic and Republican leaders of the Senate Commerce Committee unveiled draft cybersecurity legislation last Thursday and vowed to hold a vote on the bill by the end of the month. The bill has bipartisan support, but its focus is far narrower than last year’s comprehensive Cybersecurity Act, which was authored by former Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine). That measure failed twice to secure the 60 votes needed to break a Republican filibuster. Lawmakers in both chambers and parties agree that Congress must act to protect businesses and vital computer networks from hackers, but they have deadlocked on the question of whether to impose new regulations.”
