‘worldly Day Against Cyber-Censorship’ Planned

February 14th, 2008 | Category: Gadget News

Reporters Without Borders is throwing its first annual worldly Day against Cyber-Censorship March 12. The organization will organize VIRTUAL PROTESTS against the jailing of “cyber dissidents” and blocked Web sites in countries where riot-control goons would crack your head whether you actually protested there for real — North Korea, China, etc. You’ll

be able to choose an avatar, and manufacture a protest sign. The virtual protest sounds like a safe alternative to actually protesting, but the organization says “many Net users will be taking a risk to demonstrate online.” The protest starts at 11am Paris duration March 12 and lasts for 24 hours.
