CISA is designed to encourage ways of sharing information between government agencies and the private sector, including technology companies. It contains similar language to CISPA, its fallen predecessor. Critics warn the law, if passed, will allow private sector firms to search personal and sensitive user data of ordinary U.S. residents to identify "threat information," which can then be shared with other opt-in firms and the federal government -- without the need for a court-ordered warrant.


The good, the bad and the ugly.

What could possibly go wrong?
