(March 2012)<BR><BR>Don't know if you ever heard the story, but back in
January, at a campus safety information session at Osgoode Hall Law School
(University of Toronto), a representative of the Toronto Police made the
statement that "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be
victimized."<BR><BR>Of course, the comment sparked a huge outrage, and you
just knew a protest was bound to happen.<BR><BR>But you have to hand it to
one group for coming up with one of the most creative protests ever. They
areplanning a SlutWalk.<BR><BR>It's planned for April 3rd in Toronto and
everyone is welcome. You don't even necessarily have to dress "slutty." Just
come as you are. Sounds like a great way to make a point.<BR>

wrote:<BR><BR>><BR>> Last weekend a feminist march took place in
several cities in Brazil. It is called "March of Bitches" (Marcha das
Vadias) and it is an international movement that was born in Canada. Some
women decided to March wearing lingerie or with naked breasts as a way to
call attention to violence against women, women's liberty and sexual rights
and they posted their own pictures in Facebook. Their pictures were removed
and their profile was blocked.<BR>><BR>> So, let me get this right:
Brazilian media publishes the pictures from the protest, in a sign that this
would not at all hurt the average citizen. But Facebook (the platform where
most of the use of the Internet is, unfortunately, converging to) gets to
decide what people can or cannot show in their albums; what is pornography,
and where to draw the line of morality. It has been reported in Brazil that
Facebook is also blocking old pictures from well known artists that display
naked people, and pictures from little girls aged 3-4 posted by their
parents, because they were not wearing shirts.<BR>><BR>> This seems a
very undemocratic, opaque and potentially dangerous way of conducting
Internet governance. The news (in Portuguese) and one of the controversial
pictures can be accessed here: <A
