Governor Rick Scott is vetoing funding for the Florida Library Coop. This is tragic, and a terrible idea. The coop provides statewide library loans, and runs services like Ask-a-librarian. The coop is an amazing resource, my whole family uses it.Take a moment and email Rick Scott, let him know that the Library Coop is important to you. Follow up with a polite letter to:
Governor Rick Scott
400 S Monroe St
Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001
Or call him at 850-488-7146. Better yet, do all three.

And you should. It’s a terrible law. Like SOPA/PIPA, it’s overly broad, and allows private companies to share an unlimited amount of your personal information with the government. No oversight, accountability or warrant required.
It goes far beyond what security researchers believe is necessary to improve internet security. So you should object, and I think this is an amusing way to do that.
