But this is incorrect. Major companies such as Reddit, Firefox browser creator Mozilla, WordPress’ parent company Automattic, and others oppose CISPA, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who provided us this Fight for the Future letter. These aren’t just small names in the technology industry, either, and they certainly count as U.S. companies.

“Rep. Rogers apparently hasn’t been looking very hard,” said Dave Maass, a spokesperson for privacy group the Electronic Frontier Foundation in an email to VentureBeat. “If he checked his Twitter account, he’d see that Craigslist, Reddit, Namecheap, Mozilla, and Automattic are all opposed to CISPA. Rep. Jared Polis perhaps put it best when he said that CISPA will shake the confidence of Internet users and without that trust, all Internet companies will suffer.”
