Reddit, Craigslist and 30,000 Other Websites Oppose CISPA

Reddit-copy

Reddit, Craigslist and more than 30,000 other websites are flying the flag of opposition to the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, or CISPA, a controversial cybersecurity bill that was recently reintroduced in Congress.

The thousands of websites which oppose CISPA will, starting Tuesday, be displaying an interactive banner ad (seen below) from the Internet Defense League that allows voters to send the following message to their members of Congress: "CISPA is back. This bill sacrifices privacy without improving security. We deserve both."

"CISPA takes away people's 4th amendment right to privacy,” said Tiffiny Cheng of Fight for the Future and the Internet Defense League, an Internet activist organization which is organizing an anti-CISPA "Week of Action."
