#LeyTelecom: el Internet en México está en peligro. 04.04.14 | El Becario | Internet Seguramente habrás escuchado hablar de la reforma en telecomunicaciones, o como comúnmente se identifica en la red, #LeyTelecom.
Quizá ni siquiera te has preguntado en qué o cómo podría afectarte. Imagina el siguiente escenario: Estás chateando desde el baño después de comer unos burritos en el puesto de la esquina y le dices a tu amigo que tu estómago está peor que guerra de narcos. Minutos después, mientras le solicitas a tu amigo un par de minutos para hacer cosas necesarias, un grupo SWAT entra por la ventana y te arresta. El ejemplo suena exagerado, pero es una síntesis de lo que puede llegar a convertirse la propuesta de #LeyTelecom dada al senado por Enrique Peña Nieto. ¿Cuántas veces te has quejado de que no hay Internet en lugares públicos o incluso en tu casa? #LeyTelecom profundiza en estos temas, pero lejos de proponer un Internet más rápido a precios justos, hace lo contrario.
No se trata de que ocultes algo o no. Por: Alberto R. Para leer más. #LeyTelecom risks the freedom of speech on Internet. ContingenteMX, a nonprofit collective consisting of Human Rights, environmental and social network activists and citizens, hereby demands a guarantee that the inalienable right of free Internet access –established on the Constitution- be clearly spelled out in Mexico’s Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law.
It also requests that the constitutional citizen initiative “Internet Libre para Todos” (Free Internet For All), signed by over 223 thousand duly identified citizens and delivered to Congress in 2013 as a proposal to guarantee the right of Internet access become law. Said Federal Law of Telecommunications and Broadcasting initiative as presented by president Enrique Peña Nieto last March 24, does not consider citizens as owners of the right to access information and communication technologies; neither, of freedoms of speech or privacy.
Rather, it seeks to perpetuate and exponentially increase the government’s control faculties of control, and entrenched corporate privileges. 1. 2. USA verweigern TTIP- und NSA-Aktivistin die Einreise – Wer hat Angst vor Campact? Es ist keine Schande, das Schicksal mit Iliya Trojanow zu teilen.
Wegen seiner Kritik an den Praktiken US-amerikanischer Geheimdienste wurde ihm eine Einreise in die USA verweigert. So wie mir heute. Und ebenfalls aus politischen Gründen. Wie viele Leser/innen hier wissen, habe ich vor der Kampagne gegen das geplante Freihandelsabkommen mit den USA das Thema Geheimdienste bearbeitet. Der Widerstand gegen Treiben der Geheimdienste in den USA und ihrer Verbündeter scheint offenbar weh zu tun. Ich war schon erbost, als mir die visumfreie Einreise über das System ESTA verweigert wurde. 120 Euro für ein Visum auszugeben, sich durch endlos lange Formulare zu quälen und in den weit außerhalb liegenden Berliner Stadtteil Dahlem in die US-Botschaft zu fahren ist durchaus lästig.

SOPA and ACTA are both dead after having been eviscerated by the combined powers of the world coming together to fight for what they believe in – basic digital human rights. We can now rest easy knowing that the war has come to an end. Politicians would never think to bring them back, even under the guise of innocuous trade agreements and IP bills, right? Right? Unfortunately, the war is not won and it’s looking like the war will never end. Does the return of SOPA and ACTA surprise you in the least? Let’s start with the return of SOPA. Well, that doesn’t sound so bad. As we reported on yesterday, the worst part about the new Intellectual Property Attache Act is that it expands the role of the IP attaches into their own agency. Another worrying factor is that Rep. Does the IP Attaches Act sound like SOPA to you? Before ACTA died, EU Commissioner, Karel De Gucht, promised that the treaty would be passed one way or another.

This move by lawmakers comes despite unanimous opposition from Russia’s Internet companies, which have rushed this week to publish detailed reports on the legislation’s potentially catastrophic damage to the RuNet.

Russian SOPA’s nuts and bolts Indeed, Russia’s SOPA-clone contains a number of worrying clauses. The law’s regime for notifying Internet service providers of copyright abuses, for instance, is laughably inadequate.
The law also revises the conditions of limited liability, exposing ISPs and other Internet intermediaries to legal responsibility in situations where they exercise no control over the content in question. Stakeholders propose changes. Orphaned in US, SOPA Finds Home in Russia « Global Voices.
