Stop Watching Us

Today is a national day of action against warrantless spying by the National Security Agency (NSA). Over 600 organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union, the Electronic Freedom Foundation, Free Press, etc., have designated this The Day We Fight Back against surveillance. It's also the first anniversary of the death of internet activist Aaron Swartz. We are urged to endorse a set of 13 Necessary and Proportionate Principles to protect international privacy, and to contact our Congresspeople to promote the USA Freedom Act, an admittedly imperfect bill that will partially rein in surveillance, and to oppose the FISA Improvement Act, which would declare the NSA's existing activities to be legal.
