Security Bills Bruised by Lingering [SOPA/PIPA] Fight
http://j.mp/wxJzl8 (New York Times)
"In both houses of Congress, legislation is gaining steam that would
authorize the federal government to regulate the security of privately
owned critical infrastructure, much of which is controlled by
Internet-connected systems and susceptible to being hacked. The
legislation is already riven by competing interests and fears.
National security interests want the government to be able to collect
and analyze information from private companies about how they protect
themselves from attack. Those companies are skittish about government
regulation generally. Civil liberties advocates warn against excessive
information-gathering by the state in the name of computer security."
