Fight for Internet speech ratchets up - FD on WorldNetDaily

[RadicallyLiberal]

If they manage to grab control of the internet, the battle is lost because we won't be able to communicate outside of the "official" news sources.

They can try, but I am confident in the internet's brightest coming up with new technologies to combat the censors, regulatory thugs and bad actors. From the earliest days of message-boards, it was not governments or corporations driving the functions or advances, but individuals, mostly libertarian geeks.

their motto is thousands of years old - We are legion.

I don't think governments can beat the world's youth and increasingly tech savvy freedom warriors.

Too many people have tasted the freedom that comes from a connective world wide web.

Yet I am continually less and less shocked that so many have been willing to sit on the side lines while lawfair has been allowed to dig their claws in. I'm hoping that it's because they don't understand the full ramification or the full implications.

Word continues to spread.
Donations continue to come in!

I find the biggest problem in all of this is the number of people who aren't even aware that there is a fight.

10-4 that shiva.

The online experience for many, if not most, folks is limited to email, Facebook and Youtube.
What is of prime importance to FreeDominion members, especially those who were swept up in the 2007 CHRC power grab against this site, appears to be of little importance to the minimal internet user.

That online experience describes the majority of my real world friends to a T.

I agree. This is why I think the current Indiegogo campaign is so important.
It isn't just fundraising, it is getting the word out in some new ways to a brand new audience.

A large email project was just recentlly completed.

We have an admittedly small, but slowly growing Facebook 'page'
http://www.facebook.com/FreedominionFoundation

and a youtube channel.

A lot has happened in the last few weeks, and hopefully the momentum will continue.

Yeah, thanks for Dr. Dawg for forcing us to put together such an amazing team and to expand our reach in unimaginable ways!

Thank you doctor for your part in the struggle for an open internet!

Every clawud has a silver lining.

The censors and SLAPP suiters are responsible for the founding of a new organization that is continental in it's reach and will become a major force for freedom and liberty on and off of the internet.

..little did they suspect that the Fourniers wouldn't fold, that they would get support initially from the FD membership and now from major media and the entire continent, that they would fight, win and go forward as giants. This wasn't supposed to happen!

Maybe someday we can institute the Dr Dawg Internet Freedom Award. I see scholarships, a think tank...

Given it is dr. Dawg - I am collecting contributions from my lawn for his statute that I will present him when it gets colder.

An old friend wanted to set up a Big Richard Head annual clown award for failed attempts to censor the internet back in the 90s.



The assorted bozos who try to restrict our free speech with their anti freedom campaigns should be shared recipients.
