Massive Protest To Stop CISPA - Spring 2013



CISPA passed the House, but this isn't over yet.


The U.S. Government wants to turn the Internet into a private surveillance system. It's called CISPA, and this Spring we're organizing the largest online privacy protest in history to stop it for good. Are you in?

What's wrong with CISPA? (in as few words as possible)


As it's written, CISPA won't protect us from cyber threats, but it will violate our 4th Amendment right to privacy.

  • It lets the government spy on you without a warrant. (read more)
  • It makes it so you can’t even find out about it after the fact. (read more)
  • It makes it so companies can’t be sued when they do illegal things with your data. (read more)
  • It allows corporations to cyber-attack each other and individuals outside of the law. (read more)
  • It makes every privacy policy on the web a moot point, and violates the 4th amendment. (read more)

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

Thomas Jefferson
