CISPA Could Become Law This MONDAY. World, this affects you.

The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) is so unlimited in scope that all the proposed new powers of censorship that led to SOPA’s mass response are likely to be brought in to law. CISPA simply makes the terms vaguer than SOPA and gives more rights to huge cooperations over individuals. Morover, CISPA throws the net far wider, effectively ending the internet as we know it. The bill is currently being bulldozed through Congress with the final vote on Monday.

Take action:

• Deactivate your Facebook account immediately: Facebook are supporting the bill. As of today facebook.com/neurobonkers is going dark  until further notice. (Followers please swap to other forms of subscription – see the side bar).
• US citizens: Contact your representative in Congress.
• Join over half a million people and sign the Avaas petition.
