Download it here and please spread it around! The Cybersecurity Act (S. 2105), sponsored by Sen. Lieberman and Sen. Collins, compromises core American civil liberties in the name of detecting and thwarting network attacks. While Internet security is of the utmost importance, safeguarding our networks need not come at the expense of our online freedoms. Thats why civil liberties groups, security experts, and Internet users oppose this bill. The Cybersecurity Act is fundamentally flawed and dangerous for online rights: There is much our country can and should do to safeguard our networks, but sacrificing the civil liberties of Internet users is neither desirable nor necessary for that goal. As a constituent and an Internet user concerned about my online rights, I urge my Senator to support privacy protective amendments and oppose the Cybersecurity Act. cybersecurity-act-handout.pdf You can help support this information by voting on Reddit HERE. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:
