Dear friends,
Right now, corporations like Microsoft and Facebook are supporting a
powerful new law that would allow the US to spy on almost everything we do
online. But if enough of us speak out, we can demand that the corporations
withdraw their support and stop the cyber-spying. Join the call:
| Right now, the US is
poised to pass a new law that would permit US agents to spy on almost everything
we do online. But we can stop them before the final vote.
Companies
that we trust with our personal information, like Microsoft and Facebook, are
key supporters of this bill that lets corporations share all user activity
and content with US government agents without needing a warrant in the name of
cyber-security -- nullifying privacy guarantees for almost everyone around the
world, no matter where we live and surf online.
If enough of us speak
out, we can stop companies that profit from our business from supporting
cyber-spying. Sign the petition to these key net corporations now:

The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) would allow
companies doing business in the US to collect exact records of all of our
online activities and hand them over to the US government, without ever
notifying us that we are being watched. No warrant, no legal cause and no
due process required. To make matters worse, the bill provides the government
and corporations with blanket immunity to protect them from being sued for
violation of privacy and other illegal actions.
The bill’s supporters
claim that consumer information will be protected, but the reality is that
huge loopholes would make everything we do online fair game -- and nowadays,
from banking to shopping, our private information is all stored on the
Internet.
CISPA is being moved forward in Congress and will be voted
upon in days. Let’s raise a massive outcry to stop corporations from giving
the US a blank check to monitor our every move. Click below to take action:

This year, we helped stop SOPA, PIPA and ACTA -- all dire threats to the
Internet. Now, let’s block CISPA and end the US government attack on our
Internet.
WIth hope and determination,
Dalia, Allison, Emma,
Ricken, Rewan, Andrew, Wen-Hua, and the rest of the Avaaz team
