Mozilla speaks out against cispa-bill

Browsermaker Mozilla has fiercely spoken out against the U.s. cybersecurity-bill cispa. According to the techbedrijf internet safer, but the proposal is too far and the text is wide open to multiple.

According to Mozilla, is the American bill against cybercrime in its current form is too vague: “Although we fully support a more secure internet, cispa such a wide framework that it goes further than just security on the internet. The bill violates our privacy, includes vague provisions on what cybersecurity means, and gives companies and the government too broad powers,” said the company at Forbes. Also, there is not clearly explained what is or is not a misuse of information, says Mozilla.

Mozilla hopes that the American Senate, that the bill is going to bend, this concerns in eight. The browserontwikkelaar is the first techbedrijf that negative speak about cispa. Oracle, Intel, IBM, Facebook, and Symantec all support the bill. Microsoft initially seemed supportive, but now seems to be back to scribbling, writes Cnet.

A lot of tech can live with the proposal because they get more funding for cyber-attacks, but they have a less active role to play. As such, it supports Facebook the proposal because the sites are less responsible for what users put online or to share, in contrast to sopa. A public authority takes on the basis of the proposal the responsibility to regulate and monitor the internet.

The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act was drawn up in order for the government to make it easier to provide information that it deems necessary, for the combating of cybercrime, and to ask and to share. But the text of the legislation can be on many critics count among more civil liberty organisations point, such as the EFF, because the text, according to them, more than prepared. So there would be space for the law to use in the fight against piracy via internet.

The bill was at the end of april approved by the U.s. House of Representatives, but there must still be voted on by the Senate. President Obama threatened already with a right of veto if the text, no additions will get with ‘clear protection, and restrictions with an independent supervision’.
