Sunday, 16 July 2006Amnesty International's campaign against censorship
A friend pointing me in the direction of http://irrepressible.info – Amnesty International's new campaign against attack on people’s freedom of speech on the internet.
I particularly like the little campaign tool they've provided for websites, which allow you to display extracts from censored documents on your own website. I like this idea of protest - undermining crackdowns on freedom of speech by publicising the material across the internet – and the way it highlights the absurdity of some of the censorship (such as extracts from BBC weather reports being censored!). You can now see the Amnesty button in the bottom right corner of my homepage. |
