CDT RELEASES "LAM DUCK" INTERNET WATCH LIST
[SOURCE: Center for Democracy and Technology]
Last week, CDT issued a special lame duck edition of its "Internet Watch List," which identifies seven legislative efforts that threaten the Internet and fundamental civil liberties in the waning days of the 109th Congress. Unfortunately, bills that would greatly expand the authority to wiretap innocent Americans, stifle socially valuable speech online, and limit access to worthwhile social networking tools remain very much in play despite the short legislative calendar. CDT is urging lawmakers, journalists and activists to remain vigilant to ensure that none of these misguided measures become law.
