[governance] #UnfollowMe

[Michael Gurstein]

Good to see Tamir, thanks. Perhaps it would also have been good to have these connections indicated in the current call (to put additional pressure on locally and to use whatever leverage the general call achieves as part of the national campaigns).

Moreover, there is coordination with domestic campaigns. For example amnesty / unfollowme has been fairly active in Canada on C 51.

Best,
Tamir

Yes I agree – but despite the headlines around it this one claims to “ call on the USA and UK – as well as their close allies Australia, Canada and New Zealand – to end indiscriminate mass surveillance today”. So it’s not just USA, but the 5 Eyes.

Yes a good initiative but given the associated developments in our respective countries perhaps a two pronged initiative – one global and a second local/national -- would have been more useful.  There are several parallel initiatives currently underway in Canada in response to the execrable Harper governments hyper-execrable Bill C: 51 and it would be nice if there was international reinforcement support for these alongside this global initiative.

Worthy of support and widespread dissemination. Nice to see Amnesty International supporting this cause. 

 

Thank you for signing our #UnfollowMe petition to end indiscriminate mass surveillance. We’ll deliver your signatures to leaders in the months ahead, and use your voices to demand urgent action.

Together, we can stop governments hoovering up all our personal data – our emails, internet searches, voice calls, webcam images and so much more. We can pressure leaders to ensure surveillance of communications is the exception, not the rule. It should only happen when it’s targeted, based on sufficient evidence of wrongdoing, and authorised by a strictly independent authority, such as a judge.

Please share this petition with your friends using the link below, and tweet your support using the hashtag #UnfollowMe.

Thank you again for taking action – change only happens when people like you take a stand.
