Mozilla, maker of the Firefox web browser, became this week the world’s loudest critic of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), a bill that would give the National Security Agency (NSA) open access to Internet companies’ private user data.

Mozilla, along with Reddit, Wikipedia and Google, led the successful push-back against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), but the nonprofit does not make a habit of opposing legislation. When it does, however, Mozilla can be devastatingly effective: in its last protest, the group said it reached more than 30 million individual people simply by blacking out its start page. Mozilla bragged that another 10 million saw their anti-SOPA messages on social media, for a total reach of 40 million.

Though Mozilla has been entirely silent on CISPA, that all changed on Tuesday.
