The Internet is hailed as a free, open & democratic force with great transformational powers. There’s no doubt it’s contributed substantially to the progress of society. Is this about to change? Are governments, NGOs and special interest groups around the world introducing legislation and putting forward proposals to cripple the openness, reduce personal freedom and take control of the communication?

Vodafone said at the time of the uprising that it had no choice but to shut the service down under the rules which allow it or any other mobile operator to provide a service in Egypt. Similar rules exist in many other countries.

"Family First would consider a mandatory ISP-based filtering system that protects children by blocking illegal content like child pornography, but allows adults to opt out of filtering to access material classified R18+ or less," said the party.

To support or legitimize piracy (either directly, by supporting sites such as The Pirate Bay, or indirectly, for example by making statements that could be interpreted as legitimizing piracy) is in itself a serious attack on copyright

“Det å støtte eller legitimere piratvirksomhet (enten direkte, ved å støtte nettsteder som The Pirate Bay, eller indirekte, for eksempel ved å komme med uttalelser som kan tolkes som legitimering av piratvirksomhet) innebærer et alvorlig angrep på opphavsretten.
