Facebook and CISPA

Facebook-main4

Like SOPA (which Facebook opposed), CISPA is a major threat to internet freedom and gives the government --- or more specifically and disturbingly, the military --- broad power to track, control, and share almost all of your online information without the use of a warrant. They could even block access to websites, or cut off internet connections altogether when the Government feels the need to control events.
