This information and appeal from OpenMedia:
Now we know why the TPP Internet
censorship plan has been kept so secret.
Wikileaks just made public secret documents that show how industry
lobbyists are trying to impose an extreme Internet censorship
scheme.1
We knew it was going to be bad. We knew it could mean that entire
websites and families could be kicked off the Internet. We knew it
could lock out the deaf and the blind.
But the TPP Internet censorship plan is even worse than we thought.
The leaked documents reveal that:
Yeah, it’s that bad. This leak could change everything -- but only
if people know about it. We need to raise a loud public call at this
unique moment:
The leaked documents have revealed that the United States government
and lobbyists are nearly alone in pushing the most extreme parts of
the TPP’s Internet censorship plan.3
However, the leaked draft also lets us know which countries oppose
these extreme new rules. And here’s the good news: many countries
are pushing back.4
The more voices we join together, the stronger the message we can
send. It’s that simple. Your
action today will make a difference.
P.S. If you’re still reading this, it means you care. This plan is
worse than our worst fears. Your small team here at OpenMedia.org are
working hard to make sure people know the truth about what’s going
on. Can you do your part by
chipping in what you can today towards our campaign?
