<div dir="ltr">Hi all, <div><br></div><div>Many of you have been of great support during our campaign to get Ministry of IT to shelve their plans for a National Level URL Filtration & Blocking System that was announced in February last year, through your consistent support and pressure we were able to get the ministry to shelve the plan last year. </div>
<div><br></div><div>However, as we feared and as now indicated through multiple media statements, the ministry is pursuing their plans and have <span>in fact</span> now indicated that the filters will be provided through an ISP for "free for one year". </div>
