CISPA, or
H.R. 3523 the "
Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011", to give it its full ('Short') title has passed the House. You can see the
voting record for H.R. 3523 on GovTrack.us (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/112-2012/h192). If you don't know what CISPA is, it's not
quite the same as SOPA/PIPA, particular with regards to
context (what it's for, so be mindful/wary of those comparisons), but it does have some similarities with respect to the collection, control, use and dissemination of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data, in this instance for [sic]"
Security... and other purposes". MSNBC (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47196773/ns/technology_and_science-security/#.T5nzMsXkpuI) is the only major outlet carrying this at time of writing.
