Olá pessoal, sei que não eh prioridade das nossas listas este tipo de conteúdo, mas creio que seja de interesse de todos (oi da maioria) não querer seus dados sendo vendidos ou monitorados por governos, agencias e empresas.

Dear Fight for the Future member,
Bad news: It’s official. Congress is trying to pass CISPA again.
Last week, Representative Ruppersberger re-introduced CISPA to Congress. [1] What’s CISPA? It’s a cybersecurity bill that would allow corporations to share your private data with the government, easily and with legal immunity.
If this bill becomes law, major websites will be able to give the government your data, with no restrictions and no legal consequences, all the the name of keeping the Internet safe from “hackers”.
It’s a total scam. Defense contractors are pushing CISPA so they can sell cybersecurity products that monitor information as it enters and leaves corporate networks. The products themselves are snake oil; there’s no guarantee they’ll detect sophisticated criminals. But they will collect a lot of data. Text. Chats. Photos. Video calls. There’s no limit on what companies can share.
The end result? CISPA is one more way to give various branches of the US government a peek into your personal data, on sites like Facebook and Google.
Click here to sign the petition to stop the new CISPA.
This latest version of CISPA even has a new privacy killing provision. It creates a joint program that shares personal data with the Department of Homeland Security, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Secretary of Defense.[4] Worst of all, any data shared bet ween these agencies would be exempt from the Freedom of Information Act, so we won’t know what they’re collecting!
The NSA and Congress have tried twice already to pass this bill and we’ve stopped them every time. We know how to fight CISPA and we can do it again. Please sign the petition to stop CISPA, and share it with your friends.
Sincerely,
-Kevin, Evan, Holmes, Tiffiniy, Jessica, Vasjen, and Jeff
