It’s already begun. Just days after Congress voted to kill Internet privacy, Verizon has announced plans to install spyware on every Android phone on their network [1][2].
Protecting and encrypting your online life is more urgent than ever before.
Internet Privacy
Lawmakers who have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from Big Cable companies [3] used a Congressional rule that gave them a small window to repeal the FCC privacy rules, which would have protected Internet users from some of the creepiest things their Internet service providers (ISPs) can do. But Congress just let ISPs like Verizon and Comcast in on:
- Your health history
- Your financial status & how much money you make
- Where you go
- Your political and religious views
- What products you buy, and so much more
Apathy is no longer an option.
The time to start securing your most private information online is right now.

P.S. We still have one last chance to save Internet privacy rights. Join us in telling President Trump to veto S.J. Res. 34!
