External Link: Petition for Transparency
How often is information about what you search for, who you email, where you go, and the books you read and videos you watch, ending up in the hands of a snooping government? Don’t know? That’s because it’s a secret that search engines, email and cell phone providers, and media sites don’t want you to figure out.
Every day, we trust companies with very private information about ourselves, our family, and our friends and we don’t know where that information ends up.
You should know what is happening to your personal information when you log off. And there should be stronger laws to ensure that your information isn’t turned over without judicial oversight.
Join us in sending the message loud and clear to companies and lawmakers that you demand the right to know when and why your personal information is handed over.
