As attacks get heavier, I'm more and more proud of my ISP

I wear the t-shirt of my ISP with pride today.. I saw one of the founders of XS4ALL is being spied on by the US Department Of Justice. Next to me in my t-shirt, you see his passport heading his blog. The illustration links to his blog that is nicely written in English. In my opinion, freedom of speech is under heavy attack right now.

  Some of my dearest friends are already getting scared of what they can write in their emails, twitter, facebook. This war on information is slowly (well, slowly?...)....

Another two interesting links from The Guardian.

I would like to draw your attention to two interesting pages in The Guardian. The first is a series of future predictions that contains interesting views. The second is for those interested to see what can be found in the Wikileaks US embassy cables.,.....

There we go,.. anonimity is becoming illegal ! You think so?...Yes I do!

When I said the freedom of our internet was in danger, one of my best friends (you know who you are) said: "do you really think so?". Yes I do, and this is the next step on the way.

 I wonder how fast this will be implemented all over the U.S. and then all over the world. In China the government is a little more advanced in this war, but don't you worry,....

Politics? News? I have made my own crisis solutions...

Here's a 3dZiggy production I did as handdrawing practice in photoshop. Take it if you like it, see it as a postcard, send it to your friends, have fun with it...I did when creating it...
I have to admit, new years brings up strange feelings for me as well...

Dutch agengy makes report for government..After a quiet christmas, the war continues,..

The Dutch agency Fabers published a report, commissioned by the Dutch government. My favourite dutch tech-site, Tweakers.net wrote this: "Those who are trying to hide their IP address, have a reason for it that is possibly "related to child pornography", says a study commissioned by the government. The researchers recommend a radical approach to cybercrime."....

Julian Assange warning journalists,..YES, an american interview! by Cenk Uyger on MSNBC.

I could sit here for hours trying to explain to you why I think we need to speak up against US politicians trying to shut up the free press. In this interview on MSNBC by Cenk Uyger, Assange warns journalists all over the world, but especially in the United States. We are on the verge of falling victim to nation governments telling us what we can and can not say. .....

Free internet lost an important battle

From what I read in the newsroom of FreePress, an organisation that is trying to keep the internet free and democratic, an important battle is lost. Under pressure of the commercial interests of the big service-providers, mainly AT&T, the net-neutrality agreement is adjusted so it leaves a lot of power at the big corporations....

Found in New Zealand: wikileaks is an official word now, according to Reuters

Interesting to see that Reuters has apparently published this, but I find it in a New Zealand publication. Credits to the site "stuff.co.nz".   The word wikileaks has reached the status of other common words like google and twitter. It is an uplifting thought, that some things just are talked about so much, that they enter the language, even though the leaders would love to see them being shut down.......more..
