Eric Geller writes at the Daily Dot that Bernie Sanders is differentiating himself from the other presidential candidates by taking strong opposition against the CISA and aligning himself with privacy advocates.
Sen. Bernie Sanders opposes a controversial cybersecurity bill that could soon come up for a vote in the Senate, his office tells the Daily Dot.
Sanders' stance on the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act in its current form aligns him with privacy advocates and makes him the only presidential candidate to stake out that position, just as cybersecurity issues loom large over the 2016 election, from email server security to the foreign-policy implications of data breaches.
[...]
The biggest CISA wildcard is former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner, who faces a cybersecurity controversy of her own stemming from her use of a private email server during her four years at the State Department. Clinton's campaign did not respond to repeated requests for comment about her position on CISA.
This appears to be a
high contrast issue between Sanders and Clinton, although Clinton has plenty of time before tomorrows debate to close the cybersecurity issue gap between herself and Sanders.
Earlier today I wrote about Sanders and Clintons contrasting positions on cybersecurity.
