Dear All, SFLC.IN has been working for the past year and a half on internet freedom and online civil liberties issues.In this sphere, we are fighting for the Censorship rules proposed by the GoI, these rules are vague and are having a chilling effect on online Freedom of speech and expression.
Mr P. Rajeeve's had accepted SFLC.IN's requests and moved the motion for annulment of Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines) Rules 2011, which will be coming up for discussion after April 24, 2012. After consultation with him, we have started a petition to appeal to all members of the Upper House of the Parliament to support the annulment motion. Please sign the petition and we will take it to as many members as we can. http://www.change.org/petitions/members-of-the-parliament-support-the-annulment-motion-to-protect-netfreedom It is a work in progress but I think we can start spreading the word around and the work in the back end can go on simultaneously. It will be helpful if you can put this on facebook, twitter or anyone social networks that you might be a part of. In order to invite more people, you can find the email invite tool on the petition itself that will do the job. -- Warm Regards Mishi Choudhary, Esq.
