so we've beat down SOPA/PIPA. in fact the issue has become so politically toxic that no lawmakers even want to go anywhere near it, which may mean that the rescheduled vote in two months will be pushed indeffinately further back.
but there's a bigger, scarier thing out there. meet
ACTA. ACTA is an
international internet censorship bill. it's being voted on in parliament in the UK right now. so what can we do about it?
well...
everyone can sign this
petition against ACTA. it has a paltry 164,000 signatures as of my typing this, and that's pitiful compared to the outcry against SOPA/PIPA when this thing does
exactly the same stuff.
if you're
a citizen of the UK you can sign
this petition against ACTA. it, too, has a measly number of signatures. only 3000? c'mon guys!
the bad news is that this has already been signed by representitives of the US and Canada. so we're already going to be screwed by ACTA. but don't let the UK get stomped by this thing! keep the internet as it is- a place where free exchange of ideas, arts and commentary is common. not censored.
>:O!!!! TO THE BATTLEMENTS!
