Seems like the European union is more sensible than our own government when it comes to democracy after all…

In my fight to keep up on what is being written about the integrity and freedom impairing EU-regulations and laws, I seem to have mixed up some crucial facts.

When reading HAX’s blog I’ve mixed the news about the Telecoms Package and Marianne Mikko’s media-report which suggests registration of bloggers and their motives (impairing free speech etc. etc.).

So, in regards to my last post, the status of our core issues are the following…

M.M.’s media report which will ban anonymous blogging: This is what EPP-ED will vote No to. Still might need some pushing on the Green, ALDE and InDem groups!

Telecoms Package: Still needs a lot of action from Europe’s population in order to make all of our MEPs realise that it is a bad idea to engage in arbitrary, commercially controlled, punishing of citizens by internet disconnection and performing filtering and control over information that really just wants to be free.

Henrik Alexandersson writes on his blog (in regards to EU Telecom/Media-Report/FRA surveillance etc.):

“Skall vi lyckas stoppa galenskaperna, då måste vi veta vad vi talar om..”
English:
“If we are going to make this madness, then we must know what we are speaking about”

And I could agree more. Facts set straight now!

Previous post will not be edited to “correctness”. What is published is published and should stay that way, but I might add in overstrikes with a new reference in some.

I seriously need to stop posting when I almost can’t hold my eyes open.. sigh…
