QUOTE]Fortunately, a bipartisan group of lawmakers led by Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), a rising conservative star in Congress, has offered an amendment (PDF) (http://www.rules.house.gov/amendments/AMASH_008_xml416130939483948.pdf)to CISPA to fix this problem. By adding 16 words, their amendment clarifies that CISPA’s liability exemption does not permit companies to break the contractual promises they’ve made to their customers. This simple, elegant fix does nothing more than align CISPA’s language with its sponsors’ public statements — that information sharing must be truly voluntary — while still clearing the regulatory “thicket” that may hinder beneficial information sharing today.[/QUOTE]
