Amnesty International’s freedom under threat?
Amnesty International have a new campaign to highlight how freedom of speech on the web is under threat - a worthwhile cause.
They point to bloggers who have been locked up for putting their political views on the web. They want people to sign their pledge at irrepressible.info. I’ve been trying to access the site for ages, and all i get is an error message.
Do you think that someone is trying to cull their freedom of speech on the web?
Let me know if you manage to get on.
Update - It’s now working (13.40) after trying for most of the morning (although I did receive a few server errors when trying to send my pledge). I suggest you sign this, although I can’t see what good it’ll do. Government’s will just ignore it.

Worthy cause an’ all that, but let’s be honest here - you’d make more of a difference to free speech by holding a placard outside the Iranian embassy or turning your telly off during the Beijing Olympics (and save some electricity into the bargain).
