When oppressed people's only means of awareness of their plight is found online, the freedom of internet is not a technological, political or social problem; it is a human rights issue.
In recent years the general public has mobilized to face legislative threats to Internet freedoms.

They are trying to butcher the internet because the internet is a powerful tool against being brainwashed.

To all members of the EU Parliament: As concerned global citizens, we call on you to stand for a free and open Internet and reject the ratification of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), which would destroy it.
