ACLU pans privacy amendments to House cybersecurity bill

Lawmakers have tweaked a House cybersecurity bill to address the concerns of privacy groups, but failed to win the support of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), one of the biggest opponents of the measure. Michelle Richardson, legislative counsel for the ACLU, said the planned amendments do not "fix the fundamental problems with the bill." The ACLU is taking a harder line against the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) than the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT), which stopped short of endorsing the bill on Tuesday but applauded the proposed changes.
