[bestbits] Action urging Brazil not to jam communications networks during the Olympics

[Deji Bryce Olukotun]

Hi to All,

Apologies for cross-posting.

The Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro are beginning today! We recently
learned that the Brazilian military -- which is in charge of security at
the games -- has acquired new blocking and jamming technology. This comes
at a moment when public protests are expected around a variety of issues.

We've launched a petition calling on authorities to keep on the internet
and communications networks. The petition is available in English here
<https://act.accessnow.org/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=1921&ea.campaign.id=54342>
and in Portuguese here
<https://act.accessnow.org/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=1921&ea.campaign.id=54342&ea.tracking.id=tile>
.

Here's a sample Tweet:

Tell Brazil not to jam communications networks or the internet during
#Rio2016! Take action:

We'd appreciate it if you could spread the word.

I've also attached an image that you can use for sharing.
