lk737 at House Passes CISPA: Make Sure It Dies In SenateCISPA would give the government and corporations vast new powers to track and share data about Americans’ Internet use.
But our hundreds of thousands of emails and tens of thousands of phone calls have had a real impact:
Amendments were adopted that made CISPA (marginally) better.
Earlier this month CISPA was supposed to sail through, but we helped foment opposition, and the vote was far closer than anybody could have imagined even a couple of weeks ago.
Most Democrats held firm in opposition, and more than two dozen libertarian-leaning Republicans defied their leadership and voted no.
Most importantly, President Obama has threatened to veto CISPA.
***Additionally, CISPA would destabilize the internet inviting cyber attacks and increasing the amount of identity theft.***
The Senate will consider cyber security legislation in the coming weeks. Let’s turn up the heat right away: Tell the Senate to reject CISPA and any and all legislation that doesn’t respect privacy and civil liberties.
Add your name at right to tell the Senate to reject cyber security legislation that doesn’t respect privacy.

CISPA is the new SOPA

aimmyarrowshigh at CISPA is the new SOPAHere's their next move: The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, or CISPA, would obliterate any semblance of online privacy in the United States.
And CISPA would provide a victory for content owners who were shell-shocked by the unprecedented outpouring of activism in opposition to SOPA and Internet censorship.
The House of Representatives is planning to take up CISPA later this month. Click here to ask your lawmakers to oppose it.
SOPA was pushed as a remedy to the supposed economic threat of online piracy -- but economic fear-mongering didn't quite do the trick.
So those concerned about copyright are engaging in sleight of hand, appending their legislation to a bill that most Americans will assume is about keeping them safe from bad guys.
This so-called cyber security bill aims to prevent theft of "government information" and "intellectual property" and could let ISPs block your access to websites -- or the whole Internet.
Don't let them push this back-door SOPA. Click here to demand that your lawmakers oppose CISPA.
CISPA also encourages companies to share information about you with the government and other corporations.
That data could then be used for just about anything -- from prosecuting crimes to ad placements.
And perhaps worst of all, CISPA supercedes all other online privacy protections.
Please click here to urge your lawmakers to oppose CISPA when it comes up for a vote this month.
Thanks for fighting for the Internet.

Jan. 2nd, 2011 08:36 pmSnagged from insane_songbird for all the people on my flist that are not on her's to. I think this government has serious totalitarian issues and should be stopped asap. Hungarian people get together and make them notice that not everything can be decided over the people's heads. It's time to dust off democracy and get back some of the stuff it's really about. We should all take an interest, because THIS is what concerns us too, even though we might not exactly live there:
Especially to the fellow Europeans here but of course also for everybody else. There's a 24h internet blackout as protest against the new Censorship law in Hungary planned for Jan 5th when Hungary takes presidency of the EUfor the time being.
Infos on Blackout4Hungary and the Laws implications
Article on the Censorship Law
For those who care and are interested. I don't even know how to use that code on an LJ but I might try to find out. That government changed the constitution six times in ten weeks. I'm worried.
