The internet has been stabbed in the back.

Can't say i can be arsed anymore, these things pop up like f*cking mushrooms in the rain and oh boy here we go again as everyone gets all ragey and sites go down in protest yada di yadadoo. Not so say it's not sh*t and it should happen, any tom, dick and jane(cause harry f*cked off)can see the internetbackstabby action in it, but i just can't bother to care. It's not like you can ACTUALLY stop these things if they want them through, most of it's just bullsh*t for politicians to keep a dayjob.

Buried nicely on the Beeb's website. No mainstream coverage. Timed nicely behind PIPA and SOPA so even if it did kick off most people would think "bandwagon"...


No such thing as democracy. Bring back Kings and Queens.

 

[Ormorof]

i feel a bit cheated at having heard nothing about this until it was announced most of the EU had signed it...

 

[Scouse]

They finally reported on it, buried in the technology section, with only the sopa mention at the very end of the article.

That our democracy is completely fucked up and broken when you read things like this and wonder, why hasn't that stopped it here?

I got a notification from Avaaz.org tonight about a last ditch attempt to squeeze ACTA through.
http://www.avaaz.org/en/acta_time_to_win_eu/

Posted: 1 March 2012
In days, the European Commission will try a last ditch attempt to revive ACTA. But if we intervene now this global attack on Internet freedom will collapse.

We are so close to winning -- our 2.4 million strong petition has stunned politicians across Europe and halted the censors. Now the European Commission is on the back foot and hoping the Court of Justice will give ACTA the greenlight by presenting a very narrow legal question that is sure to receive a positive answer.

But if we all raise our voices now we can ensure the Court looks at all the legal impacts of ACTA, and releases an opinion that tells the truth about ACTA's attack on our rights. Sign the urgent petition to European Commission President José Manuel Barroso to call on the Court to tell the whole truth:

It was at 70k when I signed it, and 74k about 5 mins later.

 

[MYstIC G]

Cheers Zenith.

 

[Zenith.UK]

And 79k now.
Approx 5k in 15mins or so.

 

[Cyradix]
