Stop the big brother law, by fingerz on Apr 5, 2012 8:46:41 GMT 1, The government wants to give itself new powers to spy on our internet and email use in real time -- but a massive national outcry can save the internet and stop the big brother law.
Public outrage is growing and news reports suggest that Cameron and Clegg are being forced to slow down their march to secure draconian powers to spy on what we do online. If we pile on the pressure now, we can persuade them to back off the big brother bill for good.
The last time this was mooted in Parliament it failed precisely because of strong public opposition. Our call to Cameron, Clegg and Home Secretary Theresa May can protect our privacy and save the internet. Sign the petition to beat back big brother and forward widely.

Stop the big brother law, by boatyyy on Apr 5, 2012 12:13:10 GMT 1, thanks for posting fingerz... i'm the optimistic sort, but this would have absolutely no impact, imo... it's hopeless... lacks fundamental understanding of global internet/web control... just purely idealistic (which is not a bad thing - suffer from this myself at times)... i tell you who does understand it, is china (love em or loathe em - they do their best to lock it down) - but , even they can't control it... key is who has control of and access to the hubs (at the mo, too too too many...)
EDIT: global internet law may not be a bad thing for some of the youth of this generation to explore a career in... just saying...

Stop the big brother law, by fingerz on Apr 18, 2012 7:43:53 GMT 1, Right now, the US is poised to pass a new law that would permit US agents to spy on almost everything we do online. But we can stop them before the final vote.
Companies that we trust with our personal information, like Microsoft and Facebook, are key supporters of this bill that lets corporations share all user activity and content with US government agents without needing a warrant in the name of cyber-security -- nullifying privacy guarantees for almost everyone around the world, no matter where we live and surf online.
If enough of us speak out, we can stop companies that profit from our business from supporting cyber-spying. Sign the petition to these key net corporations now:
www.avaaz.org/en/stop_cispa_corporate_global/?cl=1733666769&v=13709
The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) would allow companies doing business in the US to collect exact records of all of our online activities and hand them over to the US government, without ever notifying us that we are being watched. No warrant, no legal cause and no due process required. To make matters worse, the bill provides the government and corporations with blanket immunity to protect them from being sued for violation of privacy and other illegal actions.
The bill’s supporters claim that consumer information will be protected, but the reality is that huge loopholes would make everything we do online fair game -- and nowadays, from banking to shopping, our private information is all stored on the Internet.
CISPA is being moved forward in Congress and will be voted upon in days. Let’s raise a massive outcry to stop corporations from giving the US a blank check to monitor our every move
