The Netherlands Rejects ACTA, and Does One Better

Posted by timothy on from the don't-hold-your-breath-for-the-us-congress-to-join dept.

New submitter Peetke writes "The Dutch House of Representatives unanimously accepted a motion to urge the Cabinet to reject ACTA [Dutch original] (if they ever get the change to do so; it may already end in the European Parliament). Additionally, an even stronger motion was accepted to reject any future treaty that may harm a free and open Internet. This is a good day for the Internet."

    The MAIN reason Canada is on there is because Wikileaks cables revealed The Harper gov asked to be put onto this list. http://www2.macleans.ca/2011/09/07/canada-to-u-s-please-blacklist-us/ That's right the same Harper Gov that is about to introduce an one sided Copyright Law favouring non Canadian corporate entities.

    If you just want to get stuff related to the self repairing wireless mesh darknet, go take a look at darkpi.com

    Other than that...the blog or twitter is the best way to keep up on what I do. Updates may be scarce in the next month-ish, as I'm getting married in late June, and planning a wedding is a task I would not wish on my worst enemy.
