had anyone heard of that?
Right now there is a UN conference in Dubai, but authoritarian regimes are trying to impose total government control over the Internet through a binding international treaty. If successful, the Internet could become less open, more expensive, and slower. We only have two days to stop them.
Since its creation, the Internet has been an incredible tool for expression and citizen counter-power: it allows us to discuss, exchange ideas and exert pressure on political leaders with unprecedented scale. The reason is simple: the Internet is governed by its users and non-profit associations, not by governments. But today, countries like Russia, China and the United Arab Emirates are trying to rewrite an important treaty, the RTI (International Telecommunication Regulations). The web would then be submitted to governments and no longer to us, its users. Tim Berners Lee, one of the “fathers” of the Internet, pointed out that this treaty could intensify censorship and end our privacy. Our mobilization through this petition reinforces who are fighting against this heist.
We have already managed to counter this type of threat to our freedoms. We can do it again before the treaty is revised. The opposition is organizing. Sign this petition to say, "Don't touch my Internet!" Send this email to everyone you know. Our call will be delivered directly to all delegates attending the conference.
