Apple and Dropbox said Tuesday that they oppose a controversial cybersecurity bill that, according to critics, would give the government sweeping new powers to spy on Americans in the name of protecting them from hackers.
The announcement by the two companies comes days before the Senate expects to vote on the legislation, known as the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, or CISA.
"We don't support the current CISA proposal," Apple said in a statement. "The trust of our customers means everything to us and we don't believe security should come at the expense of their privacy."
Dropbox said that the bill needed more privacy protections in order to win its support.

FYI, I'm not liberal, I'm just not a right-wing nutjob.
Neither am I. Which is why I've never voted for a right-wing candidate. You do realize there are people in politics who aren't liberals or conservatives, right?
Bottom line here is that the choice is basically what the GOP offers or what the Democrats offer. The last candidate that wasn't from one of those parties to manage more than 10% of the popular vote was H. Ross Perot. And he just barely got more than that.
So bottom line is that these mythical GOP candidates you reference didn't exist. Thanks for confirming.
