Tell Google Not To Enter Into an Agreement With the NSA!

Launched: February 9, 2010

This Action Expired: February 28, 2010

Description:

The Washington Post reported that Google is negotiating an information-sharing agreement with the National Security Agency (NSA) to help the company defend its networks.

The NSA is part of the military, and its primary mission is spying. It collects the equivalent of the contents of the Library of Congress every six to eight hours, every single day. And in the last decade, it turned its surveillance efforts inward on the American people -- in violation of the law and the Constitution.

The ramifications of companies like Google working with the NSA are frightening. If companies think they need the government’s help to secure their networks, it must come from a civilian agency with government oversight, unlike the NSA.

Tell Google CEO Eric Schmidt that you strongly object to any deal with the NSA.
