Where to vote against ACTA? What can I do?
If you thought SOPA and PIPA were bad, let us introduce you to their Big Brother, ACTA. The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, which has already been signed by several countries, poses a dangerous threat to the inherent freedom and openess of the Internet.
Under ACTA, ISPs and websites will be given more power to track what we do online, while forcing them to turn over our information and reporting our activity to the authorities — all in the name of copyright protection!
