So ACTA has just been signed by some countries in Tokyo. How does it look like in my country?
Poland’s PM and one of the ministers keep saying there was no way to postpone the signature, which is an absolute lie, because the actual deadline is in 2013, whereas politicians are talking about they “willingness” to discuss ACTA with entire society until planned ratification next year. They are ignoring people’s voice without even hiding it, saying “we’re not going to get blackmailed”.
However, what is really important, this is the first time since 1989 when a serious situation brings masses to the streets and make them say “no” aloud. It’s been like this for last week and it’s going to continue. I’m attending one of these demonstrations tonight in my city. This should have happened much, much earlier, and not because of internet censorship. Yet I’m still glad something finally woke most of people up…
A lot of Polish politics’ sites were taken down by Anonymous. Polish mass-media are being bombarded with messages about ACTA and so is facebook. Feeling like in V for Vendetta or something like that. But we are gonna fight for freedom of the internet, we fucking will!
