redbird: women's lib: raised fist inside symbol for woman (activism)
[personal profile] redbird posting in [community profile] thisfinecrew
The ACLU just emailed me asking me to call my Congressmember and ask them to protect online privacy by voting against "SJ 34." I just spoke to Representative Clark's office, and her staffer told me that it had passed the senate (which I knew) and that the house bill is resolution 86.

The house is scheduled to vote on this tomorrow, Tuesday March 28, so if you're going to call or fax, there's not a lot of time.

Here's a script, from the ACLU except that I've put in the House resolution number:

I’m calling to demand Congress protect my online privacy and keep FCC broadband rules intact. Do not pass House Resolution 86. I do not want internet service providers to sell my data without getting my permission.

Indeed. Imagine the effect on freedom of expression, to say nothing of privacy!

I called out the impact on personal health data that should be private, because what do we do if we have or might have a significant illness? Yep, we *look it up*. My rep is probably going to vote against as my senators did, but I still thought that was an argument that might get through to even the most conservative if they wanted to leverage this - that being able to sell browsing history is also selling at least some of people's medical information, although a little more indirectly, but not much.

...I wish I'd thought of that.

Thank you! I sent a fax through Resistbot (this bot rocks, seriously).
