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 we say that your information can be shared with "The Government" it's not hyperbole. Federal Agencies from the Fish & Wildlife Service to Amtrak to the NSA could access your data. (read more)

Which companies will really go to bat for you?

The companies and organizations below have proven their true commitment to user privacy by vocally opposing CISPA. How legit is that? These companies are actually saying, “We want to be sued if we do something illegal with your data.” That’s how you know they are actually taking your privacy seriously. If Google, Twitter, and Facebook are ready to walk the walk, they’ll join this list!
