Polish Internet Users Against the Censorship of the Net

[ Thanks to Borys Musielak for this link. ]

"Polish government wants to enforce Internet filtering to eliminate online gambling and child pornography. Everything for the benefit of our children, as this is the argument which is hard to stay against.

"However, a notable group of Polish lawyers, journalists, academics, enterpreneurs, politicians and bloggers think otherwise and signed a letter (written by myself, btw) to President of Poland, Lech Kaczyński, asking him to turn the law down (in Polish legal system, president has the right to do this, but the parliament can then overcome president's opposition if 2/3 of the delegates vote for it).

"...Everyone is welcome to sign the petition opposing net neutrality violating law. We already have 75 thousands of signatures and counting!"
