Republicans Block Cybersecurity Bill (Again)
Bloomberg, Thursday, November 15, 2012 11:21 AM
The Web has never been more entwined with the health of the United States and its economy. Despite that fact, Republicans in the Senate this week killed cybersecurity legislation backed by the
White House. “Republicans blocked the same measure in August, saying it would lead to more government regulation of business,” Bloomberg reports, adding that President Barack Obama is now
likely to implement some of the bill’s provisions through an executive order.
