After the Internet's
decisive victory over the Stop Online Piracy Act earlier this month, online activists have been looking for their next target, and a growing number of them have chosen the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), which was signed by the EU last week. Indeed, the renewed focus on ACTA even led a group of Polish politicians to hold paper Guy Fawkes masks—the symbol of Anonymous—over their faces in protest at the way ACTA has been pushed through. In the US, over 35,000 people have signed a
petition urging the White House to "end ACTA," despite the fact that it has
already been signed by the US. Rest
here.
They have so many backup plans to ruin our freedom on the internet. Like why do they have to control everything, even our digital lives. First it was SOPA and PIPA in the US, and now it' ACTA all over the world, this act is almost the same as SOPA and PIPA but on a much, much larger scale. The United States has already sign this. What would we do?
