Save the internet

Right now, the US Congress is sneaking in a new law that gives them big brother spy powers over the entire web -- and they're hoping the world won't notice. We helped stop their Net attack last time, let's do it again.

Over 100 Members of Congress are backing a bill (CISPA) that would give private companies and the US government the right to spy on any of us at any time for as long as they want without a warrant. This is the third time the US Congress has tried to attack our Internet freedom. But we helped beat SOPA, and PIPA -- and now we can beat this new Big Brother law.

Our global outcry has played a leading role in protecting the Internet from governments eager to monitor and control what we do online. Let's stand together once again -- and beat this law for good. Sign the petition then forward to everyone who uses the Internet:

Pop in and sign !

Can't the USA just have its own large scale Intranet, firewalled from the rest of us?

They could then monitor themselves and also the gateway between that and the rest of us, but leave us in peace as long as we do not venture across the gateway.

The UK campaign is more appropriate in this neck of the woods and nearly reached it's target

Privacy, it's not a right, or a privilege, apparently...

Which is why I signed both (though the UK one has more than enough signatures, but the more who sign, the stronger the case against the proposals)...
