Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has stymied cyber bills in the Senate.
Below: A glitch on X, formerly known as Twitter, appears to have had implications for the CIA, and a key cyber nominee gets a Senate hearing scheduled. First:As the top Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee beginning this year, Paul has objected to at least 11 bills dealing primarily or extensively with cybersecurity. Paul is often the only “no” vote for those bills.
And Paul told The Cybersecurity 202 in a statement that “CISA has blatantly violated the First Amendment and colluded with big tech to censor the speech of ordinary Americans.” “Federal courts have ordered CISA to stop, but the trust CISA has abused cannot be restored until the agency gives a full accounting of what it has done, and Congress changes the law to create severe penalties for anyone who tries to do the same thing in the future,” he said in a statement.
The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked an injunction limiting federal agencies’ contact with social media companies from going into effect. “We, since the 2020 election, have not provided any specific information on potential disinformation to social media companies,” CISA Executive Directorsaid at a Washington Post Live event last week.
But in a July floor speech, Paul argued that the CFATS program harms smaller companies by being overly burdensome.“Cyberattacks remain one of the most significant threats to our homeland security, and we face serious threats to everything from widely used open-source software to technology systems for health care facilities and other critical infrastructure,” Peters said.
The CIA’s account page displays a link to an official Telegram channel for informants, but McSheehan was able to redirect potential agency contacts to his own Telegram instead. McSheehan “registered the username so anyone clicking on the link was directed to his own channel, which warned them not to share any secret or sensitive information,” Tidy writes.
