美衆院不顧否決威脅通過互聯網安全法大綱

The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a bill aimed at securing the nation's computer networks from cyber attackers, but opposed by the Obama administration because of privacy concerns.

The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, which passed Thursday ((by a vote of 248-168)), allows private companies to voluntarily share data about potential threats or attacks on their networks with U.S. government intelligence agencies. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, the bill's chief sponsor, says the measure will protect the nation's intellectual property and infrastructure from nations like China and Russia, as well as criminals and terrorists.

But President Barack Obama has threatened to veto the bill because it does not adequately guard American citizens' personal information, a position echoed by civil liberties advocates. Mr. Obama is supporting a bill in the Senate that would place the Department of Homeland Security in charge of overseeing domestic cybersecurity, with the authority to set security standards.

House Speaker John Boehner criticized the president's stance, saying Mr. Obama wants the government to have total control over the Internet.美國國會衆議院通過了一項旨在保護美國電腦網絡免遭攻擊的法案。但由於涉及隱私問題，該法案遭到奧巴馬政府的反對。

星期四以248票贊成、168票反對獲得通過的網絡情報共享和保護法案將允許私營公司自願將可能對它們網絡構成威脅或發動攻擊的數據轉交給美國政府情報部門。該法案的主要發起人、衆議院情報情報委員會主席羅傑斯表示，法案將保護美國的知識產權和基礎設施免遭中國和俄羅斯這樣的國家以及犯罪分子和恐怖分子的攻擊。

但美國總統奧巴馬威脅將否決這項法案，原因是該法案未能充分保護美國公民的個人信息。民權自由倡導者也贊成這一立場。奧巴馬支持參議院的一項法案，即讓國土安全部負責美國國內的網絡安全，並有權制定網絡安全標準。

衆議院議長貝納對奧巴馬的立場提出批評。他說，奧巴馬希望政府完全控制互聯網。
