Received this message from the Internet Defence League a short while ago: FWD---------------- Dear Internet Defense League member, Last year, right on the heels of our historic victory against SOPA, a piece of really nasty legislation almost passed that would have radically undermined online privacy. It was called CISPA. And it raced through the US House of Representatives, passing before any of us had a chance to react. We stalled the bill in the Senate, but now CISPA is back, and we don't want to make the same mistake twice. Before there is any movement on the bill, we want to send a strong message to Congress that CISPA shouldn't pass. That's why we're partnering with the Electronic Frontier Foundation to launch an Internet Defense League action starting tomorrow, Tuesday March 19th. Can you participate? If so, get the code for your site here: http://members.internetdefenseleague.org http://members.internetdefenseleague.org And help get more people signed up by sharing this page with your social network. Wait, what is CISPA? And why does it matter so much? CISPA (the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act) would give companies complete freedom to share your personal data with the US government. It doesn't require them to do so, but if the government asked it would be hard to say no, and they'd have no reason to-- CISPA would free them from any promises made to customers in public statements or privacy policies. Your emails, your Facebook account, your bank statements, the websites you visit, your real-time location (courtesy of your cellphone company)-- all of it could soon belong to a slew of government agencies and even local police, who could use it against you without a warrant. Get the code: http://members.internetdefenseleague.org http://members.internetdefenseleague.org The IDL action will display only tomorrow.
