Global Internet Freedom Act in House
…
SEC. 5. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that the United States should…(3) deploy, at the earliest practicable date, technologies aimed at defeating state-sponsored and state-directed Internet jamming by repressive foreign governments and the intimidation and persecution by such governments of their citizens who use the Internet.
Rebecca MacKinnon has the text and references. I have nostalgia (above, right), and hope for the future.
Interesting. When will the US start to learn that meddling in foreign affairs brings them a lot of enmity?
I’d feel a lot better if they didn’t just limit their call for freedom to repressive foreign state-sponsored or state-directed jamming.
