Hi Kevin, can you post this to our p2p blog as well, it is time-sensitive, Michel ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jérémie Zimmermann <[email protected]> Date: Sat, Apr 19, 2014 at 1:55 PM Subject: [fcf_discussion] OurNETmundial - http://netmundial.net - ACT now! To: [email protected] The farcical illusion of "multistakeholder" discussions around "Internet governance" must be denounced! For the last 15 years those sterile discussions led nowhere, with no concrete action ever emerging.. In the meantime, technology as a whole has been turned into a terrifying machine for surveillance, control and oppression. The very same "stakeholders" seen in IGFs and such, by their active collaboration with NSA and its public and private partners, massively violated our trust and our privacy. In 3 days will be held in SaoPaulo the NETmundial forum. Will it be one more occurence of the "multistakeholder" farce? Governments have a moral obligation and a duty to protect their citizens' fundamental freedoms against aggressions by public and private entities. We expect them to protect the decentralized architecture of a Free Internet as a common good. This is why we put up: http://netmundial.net (yes, the idiots left this domain unregistered for us to use! hinhin) With a manifesto that we encourage you to sign and spread in your networks (Can be signed directly through https://oiga.me/campaigns/end-global-surveillance-and-protect-the-free-inter... ) This manifesto will help us as an analysis matrix for the outcome of NetMundial: Either governments follow our demands and take concrete actions, or we will know that they are simply cooperating with this global effort of attacking our freedoms and a free Internet. Please help us spread this message, so an alternative voice emerges from NETmundial. It is OUR Internet!! #OurNetMundial With Datalove <3 j -- --- --- Jérémie Zimmermann --- +33 (0)615 940 675 --- twitter: @jerezim --- --- La Quadrature du Net (co-founder) --- http://laquadrature.net ----- -- *Please note an intrusion wiped out my inbox on February 8; I have no record of previous communication, proposals, etc ..* P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/
