What is the ITU?
Governments from around the world will soon gather in Dubai at the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT), where they will negotiate a binding international treaty that could change the internet as we know it.
Several countries are proposing to expand the powers of a government-dominated institution, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Some proposals could legitimize monitoring and blocking online traffic. Others threaten privacy, seek to impose new fees for accessing content, or could very well slow down connection speeds¹.
Governments in Latin America to Africa to Asia are expressing doubt about these proposals, and we’ve been told that hearing directly from their citizens could sway their vote. Together with Fight for the Future², Access has put together a video to mobilize the global internet to call on our governments to oppose handing over key decisions about the internet to the ITU.
Let’s use the internet’s global reach to save it. Watch and share the video by clicking the link below, and sign this urgent petition. We’ll deliver it before they gather in Dubai on December 3:

This is what’s currently in the news. I’m not sure if anyone cares, but you should. No one should be able to tell you what you can see, hear or think, but that’s not stopping the MPAA, RIAA or other corporate entities.

Downloaders Beware: Copyright Alert System Arises as Torrent Sites Enter the Cloud
Internet server providers are preparing to roll out a new customer-targeting Copyright Alert System in the coming weeks, Billboard reports. Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, Cablevision, and Time Warner Cable are among a group of ISPs that have teamed with the RIAA and its film equivalent the MPAA to design a tiered set of warnings and responses to subscribers who share files illegally.

Please signal boost, guys.
The Philippines need media coverage around the world if they hope to have any chance at repealing this shit.
To put things short, this bill is SOPA and ACTA’s demon spawn.
It was signed in at an inconvenient time, purposely for political reasons. This bill will restrict the voice of anyone who wishes to speak out against their politician, and is so vague and convoluted that 12-year jail time can be smacked on anyone for the most absurd reasons.
[ ooc i know but this is relevant to me
i am a citizen of the philippines and this law threatens my freedom on the internet
if you could spread this around it would be much appreciated thank you ]
A lot of the blogs I and my friend follow are suddenly either down or password protected; they didn’t even allow 2 days for this law to pass, certainly not enough time for the public to react, and began acting on it within half a day (this morning), and already have many people in jail for up to 12 years.
This is the ultimate social justice act; not only is it ACTA/PIPA/SOPA combined, if you reblog, post, follow a blog that posts, +like, or otherwise interact with material that could potentially be offensive to someone, you’re immediately in some form of trouble with the law. I don’t know how severe, specifically, depending on what the ‘crime’ is.
Signal boost this, please.))](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mb9tyvoJPU1rferymo1_r1_500.jpg)

Dear Tumblr,
2a2n:
The Philippine government is trying to pass a law that’s trying to control the internet only because one of the senators refused to admit that he fucked up, twice. Basically taking away internet freedom for my country. We helped out when you had your ACTA, PIPA and SOPA problems, now we’re asking you guys to return the favor.
there’s a petition up and we need a shit ton of signatures

Will CETA Do ACTA’s Dirty Work? (by TheAlyonaShow)

Will #CETA Do #ACTA’s Dirty Work?
“Just last week, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade agreement was voted down, by a large margin I should mention, by the European Parliament. Quite a few people though, who wanted tougher restrictions and harsher penalties on those who break certain rules, were upset by this. And they’re not giving up.
They’re using a tactic frankly we’re seeing used here in the U-S as well. Trying to get other, more willing, countries to pass very similar provisions and then get their own country to then adopt those provisions under the guise of harmonizing and getting everyone on the same team. And it looks like #Canada and CETA are the avenue this time.” — Ottawa Law Professor #MichaelGeist.”
