Stop CISPA

The Issue

This law would allow companies funnel private communications and related information back to the government without adequate privacy protections and controls.
It would allow Congress to circumvent existing exemptions to online privacy laws and essentially monitor, censor and stop any online communication that it considers disruptive to the government or private parties.
“There are almost no restrictions on what can be collected and how it can be used, provided a company can claim it was motivated by ‘cybersecurity purposes.’” - The Electronic Frontier Foundation
