The US organizations denounced for the defense of freedoms in an open book published on Tuesday, to propose the law submitted to Congress and force Internet companies to inform the authorities about any "terrorist activity".
The law proposal This is a chapter in the intelligence agencies draft budget forcing websites and social networks and Internet service providers and services "cloud storage" and other companies to provide authorities IDs of users, who suspect websites in their suspicious activities, according to the organizations explained in her book.
Considered organizations, including "Human Rights Watch", that this action is anti-freedom and ineffective, especially since there are many legal provisions governing how to get federal authorities on data from Internet service providers.
Said Emma Ansu of the NGO "Center for Democracy and Technology," "The conversion of Internet companies to informants authorities violates the basic right of individuals to protect their own lives."
In its statement, expressed organizations feared that the definition of "vague" suspicious activities lead to the authorities to get massive amounts of data, while the actual suspects may choose to communicate via companies headquartered outside the United States and therefore not covered by this law.
The leader of the Republican majority in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, announced that he intends to pass this legislation quickly and unanimously as of this week, but the democratically senator objected to it.
Sen. Ron Wyden said that the text includes "clause written incorrectly because it forced companies such as Twitter and Facebook that control whether a user what constitutes terrorist activity or not."
