While Snowden continues to have information on US intelligence operations, Congress is preparing to pass a cyber security bill that is supposed to stop the surge of hacker attacks in US companies.
Of course, he seems to completely ignore protests about privacy and individual freedoms. 
On Wednesday, the House of Representatives voted (307-116) to pass the Protecting Cyber Networks Act, a bill aimed at enabling data exchange on cyber-security threats between businesses and government agencies.
This new information exchange system is designed to act as a real-time immune system against hacker attacks, allowing companies to alert each other through the government about the tools and techniques of the attackers.
Privacy and data advocates say the bill threatens to open a new one channel χωρίς επιστροφή για την επιτήρηση των Αμερικανών πολιτών (και όχι μόνο).

Signatory groups include: American Civil Liberties Union, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Freedom of the Press Foundation, Human Rights Watch and many more.

Data protection advocates have not given up and are calling on the Obama administration to issue a presidential veto, as promised in the Snowden era. A new one even appeared by clicking here called StopCyberspying.com asking the US President to reconsider PCNA, CISA or any other bill that threatens to expand internet surveillance.
