I've been reading about this bill for a few days now and now stand 100% against it based on the (perceived and real) loop holes contained within all of the legal mumbo jumbo.
In a nutshell this bill will allow "certified entities" to share their entire database with other "certified entities" and the Department of Homeland Security (DoH) without regard to any personal and/or confidential information contained within. This bill would override any privacy policy the "certified entities" have in place to protect their clientele/members. Entire databases would be "shared" between these "certified entities" and/or the DoH without any attempt to remove personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses, physical addresses, medical records, financial records, internet browsing, etc etc.
Now I could be wrong on some of the points I brought up, I'm not a lawyer and I don't fully comprehend all of the double speak used in the bill, but I certainly hope that the Senate beats this bill down to the cellar and sets it on fire.
