Sign the petitionThe Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) would allow companies doing business in the US to
collect exact records of all of our online activities and hand them over to the US government, without ever notifying us that we are being watched. No warrant, no legal cause and no due process required. To make matters worse, the bill provides the government and corporations with blanket immunity to protect them from being sued for violation of privacy and other illegal actions.
The bill’s supporters claim that consumer information will be protected, but the reality is that
huge loopholes would make everything we do online fair game -- and nowadays, from banking to shopping, our private information is all stored on the Internet. CISPA is being moved forward in Congress and will be voted upon in days.
Let’s raise a massive outcry to stop corporations from giving the US a blank check to monitor our every move. Click below to take action:
