The editorial, Hidden dangers — allowing more government snooping — lurk in new cyber security bill, argues that we should know what our government law makers are planning to do. The purpose of the cyber security Information Sharing Act of 2015 is to increase information sharing with the private sector to help prevent attacks on the nation’s cyber network. The journalist, as a part of The Dallas Morning News, claims the government should explain to the people why they are capturing this information.
Although I don’t have much knowledge about this bill, I think the journalist explains the details to the best of their analysis. The article shows supporting details by stating facts on the cyber network attacks on Sony Entertainment and the Federal Office Personnel Management. At one point, in the article it states that the bill would reduce private companies liabilities and increase their incentives. However, the paragraph that states that they “ had some big problems with the wording” is confusing and is unclear as to what point they were trying to get across.
I completely understand the reasons why we need higher security protocols for the nations cyber network. Our nation has been under attack and it has put many of our citizens and businesses at risk. Think about what would happen if our nations cyber network was compromised on a much higher level. The outcome could be detrimental to our country. I agree with journalist that the government should really consider the voice of the people and at the very least let be known what the government plans to do.
