There’s almost no coverage of CISA by American mainstream media. We live in an oligarchy.

The Senate on Tuesday overwhelmingly approved the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA), which would allow companies to share consumer data with the government in the event of cyber attacks.
The CISA aims to improve sharing of information on cyber threats between companies, and allows companies to share customer information with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) without being in violation of existing privacy regulations, such as the Freedom of Information Act. The DHS can then share the information with the NSA and FBI as it feels is appropriate. 
The legislation has been opposed by many in the tech industry, including by the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA), which counts Sprint and T-Mobile among its member companies. 
"CCIA is unable to support CISA as it is currently written. CISA’s prescribed mechanism for sharing of cyber threat information does not sufficiently protect users’ privacy or appropriately limit the permissible uses of information shared with the government," read the statement. In addition, the bill authorizes entities to employ network defense measures that might cause collateral harm to the systems of innocent third parties."

Of course all this while no one was watching...
