In a week, the Senate of the Czech Parliament will vote on a gambling bill that will lead to censorship.
We're a large group of people who consider internet freedom very important. We're building our own independent infrastructure so we can work, study and express our thoughts freely online.
Censorship is unacceptable. We're the people who build the internet, and censorship goes directly against why we do it.
We don't want a law allowing inconvenient websites to be blocked.
We don't want bureaucrats to decide on censorship.
We don't want providers to be forced to interfere with data traffic.
We want an open internet free from censorship.
We want a safe internet where the law is respected.
We want an independent court to decide whether the law has been broken.
We're therefore joining the Přichází Cenzor! initiative. Adopting such a law means writing a blank cheque and opening Pandora's box, giving bureaucrats enormous power to interfere with the free media space.
The censor is coming! Let's shut the door in time.
