Inside Cybersecurity in the Senate: time to take action via EFF in USA July 2012


There's some rare good news about the new Senate cybersecurity bill, S. 3414: it's not CISPA. But don't get too comfortable. The privacy protections — added to respond to the concerns of the Internet community — are under threat. They may be watered down or removed entirely as the bill advances through the Senate.
We can't let that happen. When cybersecurity legislation is bad, it's really bad, bypassing existing privacy laws and siphoning your data into the government's hands without judicial oversight. It's so important that you call or write your Senators today. Urge them to safeguard your privacy and oppose amendments that would weaken these new protections.
Click here to find our action alert on S. 3414. Enter your zip code, and you'll have the chance to call or write your Senators directly. If you're able to, please call — the Senate needs to hear your voice.
Once you've made the call, please share this on TwitterFacebookIdenti.caGoogle+, and your other social networking sites to ask your friends to join you. We need to get as many calls as possible today in order to let the Senate know that we won't stand for bills that sacrifice our civil liberties.
Thanks for all you do to help us defend digital rights,
