ACTA: Goodbye Privacy – Hello Spys from the Government

[Serial Thrilla]

ACTA – Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement is one more offensive against the sharing of culture on the Internet.

ACTA is an agreement that was secretly negotiated by a small amount of countries (39 countries, including the 27 of the European Union, the United States, Japan, etc). Negotiated instead of being democratically debated, ACTA bypasses parliaments and international organizations to dictate a repressive logic dictated by the entertainment industries.

ACTA would impose new criminal sanctions forcing Internet actors to monitor and censor online communications. It is thus a major threat to freedom of expression online and creates legal uncertainty for Internet companies. In the name of trademarks and patents, it would also hamper access to generic medicines in poor countries.

The European Parliament now has an ultimate opportunity to reject ACTA.



What does ACTA mean for me?
It is very easy, ACTA will monitor everything you do on the Internet and block everything that looks suspicious. Your ISP has to monitor all your connections, downloads, uploads and if they find out that you download a song, video, document or even a picture that is copyrighted you will get into a lot of trouble.

Do you really want this? No, we don’t need this because it is our privacy to do whatever we want without having people on the other side who watch what you do everytime you do something. We already lost our privacy in the real world. Everywhere we are, are cameras and a lot of other trash that is spying on us. Origin, Steam, Microsoft and other companies spy you when you use your computer.

Say NO to ACTA! Say NO to Government Spys! Say “I’M FREE!!!”
