DMCA | As the post-election lame-duck session opens on Wednesday in Washington, the Senate might try to sneak through a "cybersecurity" bill that would, as the ACLU puts it, "create a massive loophole in our existing privacy laws". The vague and ambiguous law would essentially allow companies like Google and Facebook to hand over even more of your personal information to the US government, all of which could ultimately end up in the hands of the NSA and the FBI. The FBI's dangerous new proposal that would force tech companies like Google and Facebook to insert backdoors into all their internet email and chat programs would categorically make cybersecurity worse. |
