House lawmakers could vote as early as next week on a controversial data-sharing bill known as CISPA, or the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. Critics say CISPA would allow private Internet companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft to hand over troves of confidential customer records and communications to the National Security Agency, FBI and Department of Homeland Security, effectively legalizing a secret domestic surveillance program already run by the NSA. CISPA passed the House Intelligence Committee by an 18-to-2 vote. Proposed amendments to protect user privacy were rejected.
