emPOWER urself & friends for Net Freedom of Speech & more
May 7, 2007
hey yall,,

here is some info from messages I just sent to Bill & Agnes that gives some of the BEST websites

to keep up the struggle for FREEDOM &
FREE Speech on the internet

b4 the BIG Media &
their FCC & Political sellout pal$
steal & block the activist &
progressive sites
from us,,,,,,,,

not to mention how closely the issue
is re: $hrubCo's

illegal wiretapping & other abuse$ of power in government that
worm$ it's way around &
under American safetyguards such as
REAL oversight,

as we trade our free Speech
for "SO-CALLED Security"....

that only gives more power to politician$
and helps their campaign
$peeches while
doing little
OR
nothing for
real security & Freedom.

The following are some of the
best places
to
start or join
in learning & stopping
the ways

Big Media & their pal$
rig the rules to
block & deflect common
decent citizens
from using
the web for progressive defense of freedom &
political truth:

This REALLY
worries me;;;

it erodes the promise of the internet as the
most powerful
free speech tool in history

with it's ability to allow REAL, common folks
of ALL lands to
cross political boundaries &
go beyond the old, national hate-alliances
so as to tell
the
truth of the people--

especially in situations where countries are known to
crush
free speech.

One of the big issues I'm
staying abreast of
is
the NET Neutrality issue that
keeps BIG Media &
Internet provider companies
from "oh-so-sly manipulation of the web,"
such as blocking
progressive sites or
making them so slow to connect

that we activists cannot
connect to
dialogue or do politically important work
for free speech,
ECOLOGY,
HUMAN rights
AND
speaking truth to power.

I highly recommend these groups,
--- please check them out &
send them
to
all your activist pals :

1) The EFF @ http://www.eff.org/
...they are the Electronic Frontier Foundation:
a group of FREE Speech and internet rights activists yet are also
TOP level Silicon Valley experts and lawyers
who frequently get on PBS & such---

often making headlines
as they fight
the court$,
politicians & the FCC
on rules that
weaken the internet for common folk
by allowing
ISP's & Big Media to rig
trick-legislation that does
nasty things like
block hot topics in progressive politics
by shutting down
access
to the best blogs & activist sites ;
the EFF also fights for individuals who are screwed by
big Media's grip on the government & FCC...

checkout their site & read their take
on the battle for
Net Equality (NET Neutrality) &
other
progressive, free speech issues.

2) GLOBAL Internet Liberty Campaign: http://www.gilc.org/
...these folks have an EXCELLENT
"mission statement"
for freedom:

"The Global Internet Liberty Campaign
advocates:
  • Prohibiting prior censorship of on-line communication.

  • Requiring that laws restricting the content of on-line speech distinguish between the liability of content providers and the liability of data carriers.

  • Insisting that on-line free expression not be restricted by indirect means such as excessively restrictive governmental or private controls over computer hardware or software, telecommunications infrastructure, or other essential components of the Internet.

  • Including citizens in the Global Information Infrastructure (GII) development process from countries that are currently unstable economically, have insufficient infrastructure, or lack sophisticated technology.

  • Prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.

  • Ensuring that personal information generated on the GII for one purpose is not used for an unrelated purpose or disclosed without the person's informed consent and enabling individuals to review personal information on the Internet and to correct inaccurate information.

  • Allowing on-line users to encrypt their communications and information without restriction."

3) Tor : http://tor.eff.org/overview.html.en
..."Tor is a network
of
virtual tunnels that allows people and
groups
to improve their privacy and security
on the Internet.

It also enables software developers
to
create new communication tools
with built-in privacy
features.

Tor provides the foundation for a range of applications that allow organizations and
individuals to
share information
over
public networks
without compromising
their privacy.

Individuals use Tor

to keep websites
from tracking them &
their family members,

or to connect to news sites,
instant messaging
services,
or the like
when these
are blocked
by their
local Internet providers.

Tor's hidden services let users

publish web sites and
other services without
needing to reveal the location of the site.

Individuals also use Tor for
socially sensitive
communication:

chat rooms and web forums for

rape & abuse survivors,
or people with illnesses..."

.....how 'bout that.

---so pass these along
to ALL your activist & progressive

web pals---

especially the info
that relates
to web
free speech protection/
Net Neutrality:

http://www.savetheinternet.com/

...
I've put alot of this info in my blog

here on Care2,

and I'd ask ya

to copy this info
&
do the same

b4
it's too late &
freedom of speech
in the digital age

is set-back to a
scary degree ;-(

Peace &
keep web-slingin'........
