Civil Liberties Issues In Cybersecurity Bill

Dear Senators Lieberman, Collins, and Carper:

The Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee will soon consider the Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act, S. 3480. We are privacy, civil liberties and civil rights groups writing to express our concerns about the legislation. Changes are needed to ensure that cybersecurity measures do not unnecessarily infringe on free speech, privacy, and other civil liberties interests.
