I'm going to copy all the info from the thread on /b/ here.
Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) A treaty (which means it circumvents the constitution) between several countries and spear headed by big business to put a stop to all internet piracy by holding internet providers responsible for the content uploaded and download by customers so if we pirate the internet company gets busted for it, this forces internet companies to monitor every bit of data its customers send and receive.
further more if a person is simply accused of internet piracy three times your internet is turned off for good with out a judge jury or trial even if you arent pirating anything and can/have prove this. they don't care they just flip the switch and its internet out for good.
to add insult to injury these select governments are attempting to legalize the random search, copying, and seizure of computers and other devices that hold digital data when a person brings them to an airport. they want to take our laptops with out provocation or reason to copy search them and copy your entire hard drive in an attempt to find pirated material
below are some links with more info, the piratebay link contains more links which are perhaps the most informative
/b/ has a plan, we are organized. join us in stopping this.
Plan:
1) bring "threat to internet privacy thanks to ACTA" to top of googles list
2) set up facebook page (done)
3) distribute fliers in areas of high foot traffic (see image)
4) write to congress, senate, obama, any and all govt officials
5) gain attention of mega media
6) stage rallies out side of white house similar places.
out side of /b/ we must here by refer to ourselves as IFM, an acronym for Internet Freedom Movement
this is to avoid the negative stigma that some news channels have given Anon
We are anonymous and we are fighting for our lives. Internet Freedom Movement FTW
