Pledge on Internet freedom

[Matrix1976]

I heard about this site on BBC and figured this would be a good place to help get the word out... sign the pledge on the site below, and help protect your rights on the internet :

With all the repression going on in other countries and new laws being created at this time in Europe and the West restricting internet use, i believe it is critical that we take action on such things...

all this talk of regulation is bad news

i have been reading ron paul's manifesto, and am distrubed about much of the things that i'm reading. and although i wouldn't vote for him in his current form, he's right about a lot of things

the policies that are passed in this country tear the constitution to shreds. thomas jefferson would be appalled by what he'd see today, internet regulation is just another way suppressing freedom of speech

i have signed the pledge. hopefully things will turn around

Speaking of the devil :

''Microsoft, Google and Yahoo have signed a global code of conduct promising to offer better protection for online free speech and against official intrusion''

''Microsoft, Google and Yahoo have signed a global code of conduct promising to offer better protection for online free speech and against official intrusion''

But they still continue to do business in China.
PR fluff.

I agree...they are making too much money with countries like that to even consider anything remotly close to a boycott.
