snowandhawk123456789 Guys, the American government is at it again! Apparently they didn't get the message that we weren't gonna let them take our freedom of speech from the internet when we blacked out for SOPA.
Now, they're trying to pass something called the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). Apparently they think that after the uprising over SOPA and PIPA, that we'd be too tired to do anything about it. The word hasn't gotten out yet, and I intend to help that to change.
" This Is Important, You Should Know This of the Day: The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act now has more than 105 co-sponsors, and some fear the bill could go further than SOPA and PIPA in threatening online privacy. SOPA and PIPA were finally discarded earlier this year after resoundingonline protest changed the debate, but the same doesn't yet appear to be the case with CISPA.
According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, H.R. 3523 "would let companies spy on users and share private information with the federal government and other companies with near-total immunity from civil and criminal liability. It effectively creates a 'cybersecurity' exemption to all existing laws."
The bill could sneak through Congress quickly once it's back in session, so be sure to track its progress." - The daily what [link]
Here's a video explaining it

It's 6 minutes long, but it helps to explain CISPA, so please watch it
Help spread the word!! I don't even care if you copypasta this into your journal, or reblog it from me on Tumblr [link] spread the word!
TL;DR: The American Government is a douche. Spread the word about CISPA so they don't take the internet
(If you copypasta, put your name down here with mine)
