From Fight For The Future:
BREAKING: Congress has scheduled a vote TOMORROW to eliminate Internet privacy rules and allow ISPs to sell your data to advertisers without your permission. It already passed the Senate. This is our last chance to stop it.
Just last week, the Senate voted to gut internet privacy rules that prevent Internet Service Providers (ISPs) from selling your sensitive personal information to advertisers without your consent. [1]
The measure passed the Senate by only two votes. It was close, and there was significant public outcry which means we still have a chance to stop it.
Now the bill moves to the House of Representatives, and we just got word that they scheduled a vote on it TOMORROW. [2] They’re trying to ram it through quickly without discussion or debate. We need to stop them.
Call Congress right now. Tell them to vote NO on repealing the FCC broadband privacy rules.
We’ll connect you with your lawmakers and give you a simple script of what you can say. Here’s the number: (415) 360-0555
Can’t call right now? Help us sound the alarm and get out the word about this urgent assault on all of our Internet privacy rights.
Even creepier, they’ll be able to install software on your phone to track you, and inject undetectable “cookies” into your Internet traffic to record everything you’re doing online. [3]
If this bill passes the House, companies like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T will be able to constantly (and secretly) collect our online activity and sell our browsing history, financial information, and real-time location, and sell it to advertisers without our permission.
We have less than 24 hours to create enough outcry to delay the vote or stop this bill entirely. There’s so much at stake. Will you call right now?
Call this number and we’ll connect you directly to your representatives: (415) 360-0555
We’ll keep you posted. Thanks for all you do,
-Laila and Evan at Fight for the Future
P.S. We just announced we’re going to put up billboards with the names of every member of Congress who votes for this attack on our privacy. Help us put them up in more districts by chipping in!
