The House of Representatives will hold its full vote on CISPA tonight, the House Intelligence Committee tweeted late Thursday. The vote comes a day early, after the House quickly reviewed and voted on 17 amendments to the bill, including a last-minute amendment to include a prohibition on employers asking employees or prospective hires for access to their Facebook accounts (it was voted down). CISPA, which enjoys the support of 112 lawmakers, is expected to pass the House, despite fierce opposition from advocacy groups and a threatened veto by the White House.
