Flickr Users 'Speak' Out About Telecom Immunity
The Electronic Frontier Foundation is encouraging its supporters to turn to photo-sharing Web site Flickr to oppose foreign intelligence reform legislation that that would grant telecommunications companies legal protections for helping the Bush administration spy on U.S. citizens without warrants.
"Congress needs to hear from citizens like you!" EFF's Cindy Cohn said on the watchdog group's blog. A quick check on Friday afternoon showed that more than 80 people had posted photo messages on Flickr -- and some images were more creative than others. Kids, pets and activists of all shapes and sizes uploaded pics.
EFF partnered with People for the American Way to launch StoptheSpying.org as a catalyst for action. On the site, the groups are also urging people to send in 60-second digital videos telling their members of Congress to oppose telecom immunity.
