Last year people like you stopped legislation that would have enabled Big Telecom providers to access to your online information. The bill was called Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). If it had originally passed, CISPA would have allowed the U.S. government to access your personal Internet data with almost no restrictions, as well as given Big Telecom companies the right to share user data with the government without a court order. This bill is back before congress and moving fast. Our friends at pro-Internet group Demand Progress have developed a petition to help stop this invasive online spying bill.

Dutch Ruppersberger even said at a hearing this week that he didn't see any reason why businesses needed to hide your personal data from the government.
