[IRP] We Must Protect Net Neutrality in Europe! - Open letterto the European Parliament

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi There,
@Meryem ne jettons pas le bebe avec l'eau du bain. en ayant suivi plus ou
moins le travail effectue par ceux de la quadrature du net durant leur
opposition a la loi HADOPI. leur apport est qu'ils se sont concentre a
communiquer avec un public plus large et promouvoir leur propositions alors
que ca fait des annees qu'on parle des problemes de filtrage d'internet et
de censure et que ca reste limite a un public tres restreint.
quelque soit le texte on peut palabrer a l'infini sans etre effectif (le
mieux est l'ennemi du bien) et je dois avouer que je suis consterne par le
genre de discussions et debats qu'on trouve dans la communuate IG. il faut
passer a une attitude plus aggressive et que la societe civile arrive a
realiser des resultats plus tangibles. pour ma part je trouve que l'annee
2009 est  tres negative avec tant de pays democratiques et specialement en
europe qui cherchent plus ou moins a installer des politiques ou systemes de
filtrage et tout ceci sabotera a long terme les efforts dans les autres
pays.
Enfin, Aidek Mabrouk :)

I endorse the signature of the statement and agree that contacting people of
Laquadrature du net is interesting.
