California’s Corporate Cover-Up Act Is a Privacy Nightmare: it would let corporations spy on us in secret, gutting long-standing protections without a shred of accountability. (www.eff.org)

Jesus Fucking Christ.

Y'all, remember when people freaked out over Mozilla changing their TOU (but not their Privacy Policy)? This bill is the pro-corporate, ultracapitalist, "hold my beer" version of that change, and it could be enshrined into law.

If you live in California, call your state reps (i.e. don't just email or write a letter). Tell them to vote no on this blatant privacy violation.

ETA: this is a bipartisan bill. If you have a Democratic rep, don't just assume they'll vote against it. Call them, too!
