Facebook is Supporting Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) 

Facebook's vice-president of US public policy, Joel Kaplan said that Facebook is supporting HR 3523Act dubbed the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). Not onlt fb but also AT&T, Intel, Verizon, and Microsoft are among some 800 firms who have reacted positively to the bill.In the official note Facebook said- "More than 845 million people trust Facebook with their information, and maintaining that trust is at the core of everything we do. Keeping the site secure to protect our users and their information requires a combination of technological innovations; around-the-clock coverage from our dedicated staff; and relationships within the broader security community."

Cispa "would make it easier for Facebook and other companies to receive critical-threat data from the US government", stated Mr Kaplan. "Importantly, HR 3523 would impose no new obligations on us to share data with anyone - and ensures that if we do share data about specific cyber threats, we are able to continue to safeguard our users' private information, just as we do today."
