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.

Why is this marked flamebait?
Go back and look at the things Jr did. Fuck look at one thing, and one thing alone: Iraq war. Honestly I question the intelligence of ANYONE that voted for that idjit a second time. But that's ok. I question the intelligence of anyone that voted for O a second time. They are both some of the worst presidents we have had in recent memory.
I mean why cant we have a fucking decent president for one. Every generation before us had at least one great a generation. Washington. Adams, Polk, Lincoln, Teddy, FDR, Kennedy, and maybe even Regan. I mean look at the distribution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States [wikipedia.org] (Look at blues and greens). Except for the first few years its every 5 or so presidents till we get a great one. Sure there is a spurt every here or there with a couple good in a row but look at the last 8 presidents. Nixon through Big O. They all suck. All of them.
Where is our great? Why cant we have a kickass president that gets shit taken care of?
Hillary? No Fucking Way. I am really tired of the fucking passing around of our president amongst the political families. Get some new blood in there I am tired of the dynasty making going on.
Trump? Oh that would be a laugh. I might enjoy that. Some of his positions aren't half bad and I can see him browbeating some people into getting what he wants. I wont vote for him, but I will enjoy the popcorn.
Carson? Dude is a crackpot. There is no telling what this guy would get up to. Do not trust.
Rubio? Sorry not sure who he is. Wont vote for.
Bush? NO MORE DYNASTIES. Although I think he might just be smarter then his brother. Still NO MORE DYNASTIES.
Cruz? This dudes pastime is shutting down the government. Why do we want him in charge of it?
Carly? Yeah right. Whats her beef, running HP into the ground wasn't spectacular enough?
Rand? He is weirder then his dad. Has no chance whatsoever
There are no greats in there, just more dynasty building and fucking nutcakes. WHERE IS OUR GREAT ONE. Comon AMERICA. Pull your collective heads out of your asses and stop voting for one issue politicians and dynasty builders.
