The House of Representatives passed the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act on Thursday in a 288-127 vote despite warnings from Barack Obamas senior advisers that the president would veto the controversial legislation.
CISPA received support from 92 Democrats, according to a report by Guardian.co.uk, and will now move to the Senate for a vote.
On Tuesday, senior advisers to Obama said they would recommend he veto the bill as it currently stands as the administration is concerned that the bill does not have adequate privacy protection for American citizens.
