It's time to show MPs what we think about the Digital Economy Bill.
As it stands now, the Bill, if passed into law, will allow disconnection, web blocking and could well see the death of open wifi.
Come along to the ORG demo on Wednesday, 24 March at 17:30, and protest against disconnection and censorship on the internet.
We'll provide placards, just bring some black tape for gagging or blindfolding yourself.
Disconnection is collective punishment. It is unacceptable. It is unfair and it is disproportionate.
The demo will be held at Old Palace Yard (opposite Parliament, next to Westminster Abbey)
If the law comes to pass whenever I stop over in Standstead airport I won't be able to use wifi, because if i did, and i downloaded something illegal, the people who provided the wifi could get fined for thousands of pounds. It's the most insane thing.... i've been following it for a while, if you check out Glinner on twitter (Graham Linehan of the IT crowd and Father Ted) he's been tweeting about it for a while so you'll see all the updates.
Anyone who goes to the protest tell us how you get on!
Or share your thoughts on the whole thing?
