The attempts to censor material posted online have been many and varied. There have been mere threats of legal action (usually claims of either copyright infringement or libel, in the cases that I can recall), but also lawyers’ letters and legal representatives contacting webhosts. Often, the material that is proving so inconvenient as to necessitate legal threats will reappear elsewhere on the internet (#leakspin).
But today we are seeing another type of censor. We are seeing the worst type. Governments, sorted by corporations, are doing more than pressure to shut the last open spaces on the Internet. We can not allow this. We will not allow this. Join us!
