Apple has publicly opposed the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, or CISA, which goes before the Senate for a vote soon. The CISA is a proposed law to "improve cybersecurity in the United States through enhanced sharing of information about cybersecurity threats, and for other purposes”.

The law would allow the sharing of Internet traffic information between the U.S. government and technology and manufacturing companies. The bill was introduced in the U.S. Senate on July 10, 2014, but hasn’t yet been considered or voted upon by the full Senate.

"We don't support the current CISA proposal," Apple said in a statement. "The trust of our customers means everything to us and we don't believe security should come at the expense of their privacy.”

Apple has joined a number of tech companies who say they're against the bill. In recent days, Dropbox, Yelp, reddit, Twitter and the Wikimedia Foundation have all said that they oppose CISA. The Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA) and the Business Software Alliance (BSA) have also stated their opposition to the legislation.
