As some of you may know Finland has cowardly and illegally signed ACTA in Tokyo a few weeks ago. I want to ask for your help to fight against censorship and freedom of internet. I want you to sign petition against it here: http://www.adressit.com/sensuuria_vastaan_avoimen_internetin_puolesta I'm grateful for each and every single one signature. Translated with Google translator: To sign scroll down to the bottom and fill in: Etunimi - First name Sukunimi - Last name Paikkakunta - State/province Maa - Country (Yhdysvallat is U.S. If you're from somewhere else just ask) Sähköpostiosoite - E-mail And hit "Allekirjoita adressi"
How did they illegally sign it? You're implying here that your government or a representative thereof signed it outside of the constitutionally mandated procedures for negotiating international treaties. Not sure how your government does that, but I'm guessing they followed their procedures, you just don't like the fact that they signed it. Bit of a nitpicky distinction there, but I think it's important to note
As a citizen, I have right to know what they're doing. This was signed behind closed doors in Tokyo and it even conflicts with our current law. If you find a "newsletter" on the subject, please let me know. It should be here: http://web.eduskunta.fi/
SWEAT JESUS NOT A PETITION My God, that's just crossing the line guys. I mean, that's just way too hard core for this issue. Why don't you just kill a bunch of puppies in protest? A Petition is something sacred, for only the most extreme possible circumstances. Clearly this is a very dear issue to you if you've been so aggressive as to make a petition. Anyway, really? A Petition? Ya, that'll show those politicians!
If we ignore the politics of your country than we are self-centered pricks but if we get involved in the politics of your country that we are self important pricks.
What! That's basic logic! Are you telling me that the United States is at times put into no win situations by European nations :-0!!! Anyway: You were told what they were doing, so... Also, international conferences and or signings are generally held in one place, so the fact that it wasn't in Finland does not degrade its legitimacy. It's ethics are another matter up to the individual.
I don't really like signing petitions after an incident a few years ago. Good luck with your side of the struggle, though, Resistance in Aus is next to nill.
Signed By the way, why does that site still have USSR as a country on the list? That's quite odd. Also, I couldn't find Canada so I just put U.S
That's not the point. The point is that we were not publicly informed about this in any shape or form before it was signed. Lol. BTW Canada is Kanada
If there's strong public opinion about something in majority of the cases they reconsider and back off or tweak it a bit. And thank you very much
