The reason I put OT was, we(community) haven't taken any stand if these
affect us, leave alone the decision should we protested against it. So IMO
topic is still OT to the list. This thread can change that state
though. Lets forget chapter, IP since they wont be very comfortable to talk
in public given their record[1][2] and might not be good idea for them to
extend support too.

My intention of forwarding the mail was to get a pulse on 2 things.

1. Scrutiny of the act beyond "Internet Censorship" and more importantly
where it conflicts with wikimedia movement's goals/mission.IMO while
censorship itself is a good reason to run a protest campaign(geo-located
banners if not Anti-SOPA style action). There are many legal experts from
the community, I would love to hear their understanding/assessment of
impact on this. May be someone could put up a page on meta about this?

2. Are there more people who are interested in this, to take this up on
wiki (in form of an RfC?) and would it be a good idea? or staying silent
like we have always been used to is a good thing?

[2] I couldn't get a link on chapter's / IP stand on Maps issue during WCI,
but IIRC both were clearly uncomfortable talking about it.

[Wikimediaindia-l] [OT] Fwd:Parliament - Say no to Internet Censorship

Parliament - Say no to Internet Censorship



The Government notified on April 13, 2011 the Information Technology
(Intermediaries guidelines) Rules, 2011 prescribing guidelines to be
observed by the intermediaries. The rules were issued in exercise of the
powers conferred by clause (zg) of subsection (2) of section 87 read with
sub-section (2) of section 79 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (Act
21 of 2000). The provisions of the new rules are unconstitutional as they
affect the right to freedom of speech and expression as well as right to
privacy of citizens, are arbitrary being violative of Art. 14 of the
Constitution of India and are ultra vires of the parent act. SFLC.in [1]
has come out with an ebook, Legal analysis of IT(Intermediaries
guidelines)Rules 2011 [2] explaining the impact of the guidelines which the
government has come up with.



FSMK[3] with support of other organizations is planning a national level
campaign against this law which will be discussed in parliament on the
second half of the budget session which starts from April 24th. Hence we
have chosen 21st April for the nation wide campaign against the law.
Content regarding the campaign and the issue is being updated, [4].

Please let me know if the organizations that you are associated with can
support us for this campaign. We are maintaining a list of all organization
who are supporting us [5].



Also please support this campaign by sharing the link of the website[4] and
also by signing the petition [6].



We are also looking for any creative posters/ideas related to this topic
which will help us in spreading the word. Please feel free to share such
content with us so that we can update it in the website.
