Sopa nightmare is back, and one of our strongest allies in the fight against it, has joined them now!
Peor que #Sopa, al parecer. Empezando por el hecho de qe Zucker planea hacer dinero formando parte de esta propuesta. Me estoy hartando de la obsesiva paranoia y ‘búsqueda de seguridad’ en línea por parte del gobierno/militares gringos. ALV.
Follow-Up of the Day: Internets Revolt as Facebook Backs CISPA: Facebook (and also Microsoft, Verizon, AT&T, Intel…) has come out in support of CISPA — SOPA’s evil twin that essentially would obliterate online privacy — and thewrath of the web has reached a fever pitch.
What’s the best way to fight back?
Sign the petition by Demand Progress:
“Internet users were able to push GoDaddy to withdraw its support of SOPA. Now it’s time to make sure Facebook knows we’re furious.”
And/or share your opposition on Facebook, natch.
Obama And ISP’s To Launch Largest Digital Spying Scheme In History (Must Read)
If you download potentially copyrighted software, videos or music, your Internet service provider (ISP) has been watching, and they’re coming for you.
Specifically, they’re coming for you on Thursday, July 1.
That’s the date when the nation’s largest ISPs will all voluntarily implement a new anti-piracy plan that will engage network operators in the largest digital spying scheme in history, and see some users’ bandwidth completely cut off until they sign an agreement saying they will not download copyrighted materials.
Word of the start date has been largely kept secret since ISPs announced their plans last June. The deal was brokered by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), and coordinated by the Obama Administration. The same groups have weighed in heavily on controversial Internet policies around the world, with similar facilitation by the Obama’s Administration’s State Department.
The July 1 date was revealed by the RIAA’s CEO and top lobbyist, Cary Sherman, during a publishers’ conference on Wednesday in New York, according to technology publication CNet.
The content industries calls this scheme a “graduated response” plan, which will see
-Time Warner Cable
-Cablevision
-Comcast
-Verizon
-AT&T
and others spying on users’ Internet activities and watching for potential copyright infringement. Users who are “caught” infringing on a creator’s protected work can then be interrupted with a notice that piracy is forbidden by law and carries penalties of up to $150,000 per infringement, requiring the user to click through saying they understand the consequences before bandwidth is restored, and they could still be subject to copyright infringement lawsuits.
Response: This is much worse than SOPA/PIPA and ACTA. It doesn’t necessarily censor the internet but it spys on everything you do. Your ENTIRE web history will be watched and recorded and might even assist the government. This was coordinated by Obama and his administration with the help of the MPAA and RIAA.
What is so dangerous about this is that this is not a law it is a policy adopted by several companies. That means this will not be debated in Congress and you will agree to be spied on by signing a contract with the company.
Internet censorship is becoming a reality and now the corporate elite will legally be able to spy on you. If we spread this and cause an uproar like what we did with SOPA, maybe they will back down. Either way people NEED to know about this.
Dont like the whole ‘NERD girl problem’ title.. Cuz i have no idea if im that nerdy.. but HOLY SHIT WHEN THE INTERNET GOES DOWN IT HURTS INSIDE MY HEART.

Un nuevo tratado global, ACTA, podría autorizar a las corporaciones a vigilar todos nuestros movimientos en la web. La semana pasada contribuimos a frenar leyes pro-censura en EEUU. Si actuamos ahora, podemos lograr que el Parlamento Europeo entierre esta nueva amenaza. ¡Únete!
