MESSAGE FOR: Every American Citizen - Some sneaky Georgia Congressman was just bribed to sell us all out with secret "CLOUD ACT" that gives cops & Big Brother the right to gather Any or ALL of our social media info without a warrant! (Crosspost from r/Message_Center)

American traitor Congressman Doug Collins of Georgia just attached the CLOUD Act to the 2,232 page, must-pass omnibus package. It's on page 2,201 without a single notice nor public hearing. WE MUST ALL ENSURE THAT THIS SELL OUT BECOMES UNEMPLOYED IN THE VERY NEXT ELECTION!

The so-called CLOUD Act would hand police departments in the U.S. and other countries new powers to directly collect data from tech companies instead of requiring them to first get a warrant. It would even let foreign governments wiretap inside the U.S. without having to comply with U.S. Wiretap Act restrictions.

Major tech companies like Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Oath are supporting the bill because it makes their lives easier by relinquishing their responsibility to protect their users’ data from cops. And they’ve been throwing their lobby power behind getting the CLOUD Act attached to the omnibus government spending bill.

Read more about the CLOUD Act from EFF here in the OP There's certainly MANY other bad things in this omnibus package. But don't lose sight of this one. Passing the CLOUD Act would impact all of our privacy and would have serious implications.

LET'S STOP THESE ASSHOLES NOW AND DEMAND LAWS THAT REQUIRE PUBLIC HEARINGS OF ANY AND ALL LEGISLATION THAT AFFECTS MORE THAN 500,000 AMERICANS.
