Do you appreciate your freedom? How much? Do you want the police to watch closely everything you are doing on the Internet and to record it?

What are we talking about?

The regulation, stipulating that the agencies will be able to collect information from every user on the Internet, was published in the State Gazette yesterday. The information may of any kind: who has written to whom, what contacts one has, means for instant messaging, when they have been used and how and many other.

Data Retention is no solution!

If you want to express your opinion and that you appreciate your freedom, do come to the protest called A Free Lunch.

Most protests are held during the evenings, but institutions are asleep in the evenings, so you can dedicate your lunch break to Internet freedom.

Free Lunch 1

When: Thursday – 07 February 12.30 to 14.30
Where: In the garden at 6 Gurko str. in front of the State Agency for Information Technologies and Communications.

The protest is legal, since there is an application in Sofia Municipality. If there is a change in the location, please follow these news.
Come and bring your messages, bring your T-shirts or posters, bring whatever you like so we can demonstrate that FREEDOM matters and we don’t accept to be watched by someone.
More news to follow soon.
