Dear Parliament: Say no to the Internet Lockdown

No Internet Blockade

Internet law expert Michael Geist recently revealed that behind-the-scenes, Big Media is pushing for such strong powers that, if accepted, could lead to “a radical reform of the Internet in Canada”. He writes:

Taken together, the proposals would require Internet providers to block access to foreign sites, take down content without court oversight, and disclose subscriber information without a warrant.

We’re talking about mass Internet surveillance and censorship. We have to stop these restrictions on free expression, privacy, and innovation.
