Should cyber security bills include "fake news"?

Stanford researchers and other professors looking at this federal definition of cybersecurity:

Prevention of damage to, protection of, and restoration of computers, electronic communications systems, electronic communications services, wire communication, and electronic communication, including information contained therein, to ensure its availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and nonrepudiation

think that the definition is outdated and needs to reflect the use of disinformation.

The list of cybersecurity legislative changes that are being bandied about:

  • including disinformation campaigns
  •  prohibiting the use of digital bots to impersonate people
  • more tansparency on how the algorithms used by social media sites work
