Looks like the gloves are off and true colors just showed fully. The fight is on for privacy now; https://www.youbetrayedus.org/ Apple, Microsoft, Adobe, Symantec, and a handful of other tech companies just began publicly lobbying Congress to pass the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA), a bill that would give corporations total legal immunity when they share private user data with the government and with each other. Many of these companies have previously claimed to fight for their users' privacy rights, but by supporting this bill they've made it clear that they've abandoned that position, and are willing to endanger their users' security and civil rights in exchange for government handouts and protection.
but it will not work.. the only place to hit back is in their wallets. use open source stuff, and nothing closed source. ditch m$, adobe, etc. and nothing from sony, apple, and hollywood cowboys. make do with what it is free.. that is what i liked in this black march initiative a few years ago. because that will work.
I think you really need to read it. Youbetrayedus.org is often wrong. Here is the bill. https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/754
There is much much more involved in fighting CISA than just Youbetrayedus.org So then you also must claim the EFF and COUNTLESS OTHERS who are adamantly opposed to CISA are wrong as well? Electronic Frontier Foundation Defending your rights in the digital world September 1, 2015 | By Lee Tien Amendments to CISA "Cybersecurity" Bill Fail in All Regards Although grassroots activism has dealt it a blow, the Senate Intelligence Committee's (CISA) keeps shambling along like the zombie it is. In July, Senator McConnell vowed to hold a final vote on the bill before Congress left for its six-week long summer vacation. In response, EFF and over 20 other privacy groups ran a successful Week of Action, including over 6 million faxes opposing CISA, causing the Senate to postpone the vote until late September. Senators submitted many amendments to the bill before going on vacation. The amendments, like the original language of the bill, fail to address key issues like the deep link between these government "cybersecurity" authorities and surveillance, as well as the new spying powers the bill would grant to companies. But “cybersecurity” is already intimately tied to surveillance—a problem CISA would only worsen. Documents released by the New York Times reveal the government used the Comprehensive National Cyber Security Initiative (CNCI) to pay telecommunications companies to spy on consumers using their networks. The CNCI includes initiatives for information gathering, but it’s always been presented to the public as fostering research and encouraging public awareness of cybersecurity problems—not spying on Americans' Internet traffic. The revelations are stunning. The NSA paid telecommunications companies nearly $300 million dollars in the 2010 fiscal year to invest in surveillance equipment as part of the CNCI. In fact, STORMBREW’s Breckenridge site was “100% subsidized with CNCI funding.” Continued; https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/09/amendments-cisa-cybersecurity-bill-fail-all-regards _______________________________ August 5, 2015 | By Lee Tien DHS Agrees with EFF: Senate's CISA "Cybersecurity" Bill Will Damage Privacy _______________________________ You are quick in trying to shoot down any attempts, valid information, or arguments, that help to preserve consumers rights to privacy across just about every thread on MDL...
