Sarkozy Exports Repressive Internet (La Quadrature du Net, link): "Citizens and all parties who care for fundamental rights and freedoms must send a clear message to governments : the smokescreen debates among industry representatives at the eG8 next Tuesday will not hide what is at stake in the G8 that follows," declares Jamie Zimmermann, spokesperson of La Quadrature du Net. "All the G8 documents must be made public, as well as positions of each country on Internet freedoms or control issues. Freedom of expression and democracy can not be sacrificed for the benefit of some economic or political self-serving interests," concludes Philippe Aigrain, co-founder of the citizen organization.

Our work is only possible with your support.
