Opponents of a bill to let private companies share cybersecurity information with the federal government vowed Thursday to continue their fight, saying the proposed law would lead to broader government monitoring of the Internet.

The American Civil Liberties Union opposes the bill because “Companies can still share personal information with each other or the government [and] military agencies like the NSA are still allowed to collect American Internet information,” ACLU legislative attorney Michelle Richardson said.

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence approved the bill 18-2 at a closed-door markup Wednesday, after adopting amendments designed to assuage fears that the proposal would allow broad government monitoring of domestic electronic communications and scoop up the private data of Americans for analysis by the National Security Agency.
