[Misc][X-Post from Reddit] CISA bill: The Senate is likely to vote on the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) in the coming weeks (actions) Copy-pasting my thread from Reddit: With promises from senators to bring up CISA in the Senate in early August ([1], [2], [3 (search for "CISA")], [4], [5]) and the general support of cybersecurity bills from the White House, dozen (EFF, Access, Fight for the Future, ACLU, etc.) groups of activists decided to participate in a "Week of Action Opposing Broad "Cybersecurity" Surveillance Legislation". Taking action: Stop Cyber Spying coalition website Fight for the Future EFF action about cyber bills "Join Access in a Week of Action opposing cyber surveillance #StopCISA" The Week of Action: EFF and our allies have been hard at work fighting Congress’ cyber surveillance bills. But the most important voices are yours. Here’s how to help: Visit the Stop Cyber Spying coalition website where you can email and fax your Senators and tell them to vote no on CISA. Use a new tool developed by Fight for the Future to fax your lawmakers from the Internet. We want to make sure they get the message. Check out our AMA on Reddit on Wednesday July 29 at 10am ET/7am PT with EFF, Access, Fight for the Future, and the ACLU and let your friends know about it. Help us spread the word. After you’ve taken action, tweet out why CISA must be stopped with the hashtag #StopCISA. Use the hashtag #FaxBigBrother if you want to automatically send a fax to your Senator opposing CISA. If you have a blog, join us by publishing a blog post this week about why you oppose CISA, and help us spread the word about the action tools at https://stopcyberspying.com/. For detailed analysis you can check out this blog post and this chart. With your help, we’ll make sure Congress gets the message: now more than ever, we don’t need more cyber surveillance. We need better security. CISA must be defeated because it may make things worse for Internet users in several ways: What's wrong with CISA in a few words: CISA is fundamentally flawed because of its broad immunity clauses for companies, vague definitions, and aggressive spying powers. Combined, they make the bill a surveillance bill in disguise. The bill may even make things worse for Internet users in several ways. That’s why we’re launching a week of action to make sure Congress is getting the message loud and clear:  CISA must not pass.
