Mozilla Asks Congress, Microsoft And Google To Stop Spying

Well, now you know why Google and Microsoft are so eager for you to signup when using their services and what they do with that data.

Fortunately, organizations like Mozilla, Reddit, DuckDuckGo and many more have a better idea and care about your privacy. Thanks to the recently leaked data about PRISM, these companies are asking the Congress to end NSA surveillance.

How can you help? Sign a petition at StopWatching.us and call Washington. Rainey Reitman, the activism director at Electronic Frontier Foundation, said, “The next thing we need to do is have a call day where people pick up the phones and call Washington. It’s extremely unfortunate, but the thousands and thousands of emails may fall upon deaf inboxes.”
