if this isnt stopped Anime Will Go Away too

for more info

here is a bill to Take out Acta https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#! ... t/MwfSVNBK

CISPA (Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act) is the parent of SOPA and PIPA.

It not only does what SOPA and PIPA were going to do but it also requires all sites to collect any information the need or want, and share it with the government, other companies, and anyone else. It even collects info from texts and phone calls.

This does not affect just the US but the world, as anyone from another country who connects to a US site will have their info recorded, even the most sensitive info just like the people in the US.

This is a Link that explains what the bill will do, and also gives you the option of mailing your senator.

I apologize to the MODs in advanced for posting this but if this gets passed which it is supported by face book and other sites, then it will affect you too.

Censoring the net is bad itself..... but now watching our every move?? gosh the hell with those ppl i mean what next? servalince cameras on the streets? O_o

It is from the same two people who tried to pass SOPA and PIPA, They actually snuck this one in and it is just now getting noticed.

Also if you copy the link into your browser youll be able to read the bill and email your represinative and senator.

Im not sure if there is already a thread for this, this just appeared in my email inbox, i am one of the many who is very passionate about this. It'd be super cool if this could be made into a sticky also


Dear friends,



Right now, over 100 Members of the US Congress are trying to sneak through a bill that would let them spy on every Internet user without a warrant. CISPA is their third attempt to rebrand their attack on global Internet freedom. Our massive outcry helped beat SOPA and PIPA, let's save the Internet again:


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:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/stop_cispa/?vl

Under the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), if a cyber threat is even suspected, companies we use to access the Internet will have the right to collect information on our activities, share that with the government, refuse to notify us that we are being watched and then use a blanket immunity clause to protect themselves from being sued for violation of privacy or any other illegal action. It's a crazy destruction of the privacy we all rely on in our everyday emails, Skype chats, web searches and more.

But we know that the US Congress is afraid of the world's response. This is the third time they have tried to rebrand their attempt to attack our Internet freedom and push it through under the radar, each time changing the law's name and hoping citizens would be asleep at the wheel. Already, Internet rights groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation have condemned the bill for its interference with basic privacy rights -- now it's time for us to speak out.

Sign the petition to Congress opposing CISPA. When we reach 250,000 signers our call will be delivered to each of the 100 US Representatives backing the bill:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/stop_cispa/?vl

Internet freedom faces threats everyday from governments around the world -- but the US is best placed to attack the rights of Internet users because so much of the Net's infrastructure is located there. Our movement has, time and time again, proven that global public opinion can help beat back US threats to our Net. Let's do it again.

With hope,

Emma, Rewan, Ricken, Antonia, Lisa, Morgan, Mia, Pascal and the entire Avaaz team

I feel like giving you an official warning, because you've been a member of anivide long enough to know how to use the search feature, or at least should have the presence of mind to glimpse at the top threads in the section before you post a new thread. This is all going to get merged and updated into the already stickied U.S. Govt. to censor the internet.
