You thought SOPA was bad?

How about adding the NSA to the long list of servers that seb sites forward your details to?

Man, when will these dickheads ever stop trying to spy on us and such? Orwell was right...

So be sure to write your various representatives to tell them they aren't going to sneak it through without anyone noticing.

Tip: Write the letter once, copy/paste to the forms when you get that far. Keep it short. These are mostly read by 'helpers' who scan the email for keywords and generate 'trends'. The likelihood your actual representatives will read your email is low.

Well, yeah, google crawls the forum. But use ghostery or similar tracker blocking, and you can see a nice long list of who else is getting notified of your clicks and views.

Now imagine they all link hands and share every detail among themselves, and government agencies.

CISPA is on the fast track! You know how the house takes 'forever' to do anything? NOT THIS BILL. They're in a hurry to pass it before anyone mobilizes any protest about it. Why debate and review when the government can give its self (and its corporate keepers) vast new powers?

Facebook tells you why CISPA is a 'good thing'

The house passed CISPA. Obama says he won't sign it.

Here's a list of the buttheads who hate liberty, who voted for it:
