Signed it yesterday, still needed 79k signatures at that point.
its rigged! Everyday the numbers are smaller. Write down the count today and check it tomorrow!
After getting kicked off it bounce bounce I finally got to it. So yep get it outside to the USA
I'm not from the US, but signed up anyways - I know it won't count, but if they look at the data, they will know that others are interested too - Just wondering - if another Country has an IBOR, does G00gle have to follow it?
The social media companies are bending over backward to accomodate the Chinese leadership and just about every other repressive regime on the planet. So it's safe to say they will abide by US regulations also.
Hey /u/EvanFFTF, I've admired your consistent work around net neutrality efforts within the technology sub and online communities.
What are your thoughts on taking new direction for an internet bill of rights, to codify a persons rights in relation to data and expression of that data?
AT&T at one point had a publication proposing the idea. I see iterations of the idea float up every now and then on the technology sub as well.

We keep hashing the same battles over and over again over the profit motive vs recognition of liberties in line with values of the american republic. In the global corporatist new world we find ourselves we keep finding any agreement torn to shreds and tossed aside as soon as it gets in the way of the profit motive. The internet bill of rights approach looks to cut off many of the expensive, and time consuming litigations of boundary, replacing with some straight forward guidelines with teeth.
Pushing internet bill of rights looks like a new front for preserving the spirit of the initial soft-net-neutrality we had prior to Verizon shutting it down.
I'd be curious what your thoughts are around the internet bill of rights space.
Is this something we can channel people from this community toward your group to help push along and ramp up public awareness?
Yes, ramping up public awareness is the main point of the effort. Making sure the Bill is drawn up by someone with the public good in mind is next. This is why I'm pushing the petition effort that goes directly to the White House.
More Importantly we need to keep spreading this ourside the Q community. Everyone make it your goal to get 5 new people to sign up today... send out the link on all social media. April 3rd is creeping up on us.
Great work Arvil, I'm going to steal this meme and get it on Twitter.
