Today's Story Highlights

House Passes Cybersecurity Bills Despite Privacy Fears
Two cybersecurity bills approved this week by the U.S. House of
Representatives pose a threat to citizens' privacy, according to
opponents of the measures. Both bills aim to improve sharing of
cybersecurity information between businesses and government agencies.
"'Information sharing' is a misnomer," said Gabriel Rottman, legislative
counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union.

Comcast, Time Warner Cable Deal Undone
Comcast has decided to abandon its plan to merge with Time Warner Cable,
according to multiple press reports. The company is expected to make a
formal announcement on Friday. About a week after reports emerged
indicating the DoJ was leaning against Comcast's $45.2 billion dollar
bid to absorb TWC, reports surfaced that the FCC was leaning in the same
direction.

The Growing Robocall Menace
Automated telephone calls, also known as "robocalls," used to drive me
crazy. Then they stopped, and life was quiet, peaceful and beautiful
once again, but just for a few short years. Those disturbing calls have
started once again, and now they are worse than ever. Why? And how can
we stop them? Robocalls typically are for telemarketing purposes. The
calls are placed by automated systems.
