Intelligence Committee Chair Richard Burr says not to worry about his Cyber Information Sharing Act, which Sen. Ron Wyden has called ”a surveillance bill by another name.”
Burr, on the other hand, likens his bill to a neighborhood watch program, where “citizens and private entities” share information voluntarily so that they’re all more prepared to respond to threats.
But Burr’s analogy only works if he’s imagining something like the Homeowners Association From Hell, one empowered to enter the houses of residents in the neighborhood in the guise of looking for burglars, which can also then snoop around and report on whether you’re doinking the baby sitter or watching pirated videos.
