Urgent: Dismantle NSEERS program

mercredi 14 décembre 2016 à 01:00

US citizens: call on Obama to dismantle the NSEERS program so that Trump can't use it to register all Muslim visitors.

Urgent: Free Fomusoh Ivo Feh

mercredi 14 décembre 2016 à 01:00

Everyone: call on Cameroon to free Fomusoh Ivo Feh, who has been imprisoned for sending a joke mocking Boko Haram via SMS message.

What makes the joke so funny is the idea that Boko Haram would want recruits to have western education (i.e., to study from the "boko", books, that it calls "haram", anathema).

Urgent: Block coal mining in Colorado

mercredi 14 décembre 2016 à 01:00

US citizens: call on Obama not to let Arch Coal do mining in roadless Colorado forest.

Customer reviews

mardi 13 décembre 2016 à 01:00

A new US law prohibits companies from restricting how their customers post reviews of the company's products or services.

The article ends with a fatuous statement that companies "should protect" their "intellectual property". That term is so broad that it is fatuous to say that people "should" (or "shouldn't") do any particular thing with it.

If we make the subject narrower and concrete by replacing "intellectual property" with something specific, such as copyrights, then it becomes mistake. It is wrong to endorse in a blanket way all the things that companies do to enforce copyrights. Some are legitimate, and some are not.

Volunteer

I am looking for people to (in Goa (India)) make and sell buttons that say, "DON'T BE TRACKED  PAY CASH", to resist the state's campaign against cash.
