 Dear Fight for the Future member,

Government spying is out of control. Click here to shut down one piece of
the nightmare.<http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/lAA/ZgwNAA/njQo9TzCQ4CWrpty-5JhxA/h0/Xb67NgXkp9XwXPFNgN-2Fqds81HLbRZH1ohBNW6gjwbwx1s8zTSxzYUlN6eNPow-2FKARe0T4tutoINLKz9aFqF8-2Bc8hZvAs-2FS3N8LDHQsOX36c-3D>

Just this morning, The Guardian revealed possibly the most disturbing
revelation yet from the Snowden documents. British spy agency GCHQ has
intercepted and stored images from millions of innocent people's webcams,
including a "large quantity" of sexually explicit images, under a program
un-ironically codenamed "Optic Nerve." (1).

This is literally the nightmare scenario that everyone has been thinking
since we first started to learn the grotesque scope of dragnet government
surveillance. The UK government is literally watching millions of people
through the cameras on their computers -- pe ople who are suspected of no
wrongdoing. We can only assume they've collected and stored images of
people having sex, arguing, using the bathroom, images of our children and
elders. It turns my stomach as I write about it.

The worst part? Abusive spying like this isn't limited to top secret
agencies like NSA and GCHQ.Outdated privacy laws make it way too easy for
literally hundreds of government agencies, from the IRS to local cops, to
invade your privacy for no good reason (2).

Right now, we have an urgent opportunity to make a crucial fix to one of
these laws and shut the cops out of our computers.

We need your signature. Click here to tell your reps to support the Email
Privacy Act and keep the U.S. government from reading your email.

We can't stop all the privacy abuses in one day, but it's clear from
today's news that -- if we don't push back on runaway government
surveillance every chance we get -- there is literally nothing that these
agencies won't do in their misguided quest to collect everything

The Email Privacy Act would reform key pieces of ECPA, the outdated law
that government agents currently use as a loophole to snoop on people's
email without a warrant. There's serious momentum for it in Congress right
now, we just have to push it over the edge.

Dozens of groups are mobilizing this week and next to make sure that this
bill gets passed and restores some sanity to our online privacy laws.
Thanks for being part it. Please forward this email to everyone you know.
They'll thank you.

More soon,

-Tiffiniy, Holmes, and Evan
