INTERNET INSIDER
June 24, 2016
This week we’ve joined our friends at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) in the fight against rule changes expanding U.S. government powers to break into users’ computers. They want to use an obscure loophole in the law to radically expand their powers to hack any computer, anywhere in the world. However, they will disproportionately impact people using privacy-protective technologies, including Tor and VPNs. The U.S. Congress only has until December 1st to stop the changes from taking effect. Speak out now by signing EFF’s petition!
