    This secret deal, to my mind, is in contravention of the European Charter of Fundamental rights namely Article 10. The Charter states that everyone has the right "to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers." In the digital age, the Internet, and the associated applications and services provided by the World Wide Web, is the means by which people exercise that right.

    The Commissioner for Information Society, Viviane Reding has stated that she supports the Internet in Europe staying open. She said in a speech last month that "Net Neutrality has to be guaranteed. New network management techniques allow traffic prioritisation. These tools may be used to guarantee good quality of service but could also be used for anti-competitive practices.‘net neutrality must be guaranteed'. "

    Looks like a trip to Europe might be in order...


    While I'm at it :

    Even Amnesty International is in on the debate worldwide.

    If all this nonsense goes ahead we can say goodbye to Cryptome and its ilk as these sites are the real targets...
