I´m wondering how other country´s are dealing with this thing they call ACTA

http://thenextweb.com/eu/2012/01/26/the-eu-and-22-member-states-sign-the-controversial-acta-internet-censorship-treaty/

Here you can read that country´s such as UK, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden all agreed to adopt ACTA!

I had a hard time to find any confirmation about Belgium agreeing on this one, there is NOTHING about it in the media, no radio, no papers, nothing. Acta will without a doubt lead to allot of censoring (even more then now) and I don´t see this as a good thing (china anyone ?)

I know there has been allot of protest in Poland already, since the news leaked very early over there, but that is nearly all ive heard about this.

Anonymous have been doing some online actions, but tbh, its been fun reading about it, but it ends there really.

For those not aware of what ACTA is : WIKI HERE

I reckon it still has to be ratified by the respective countries' parliament / president, and go through public debate for that to happen.

Yeah sopa / acta / etc ... all the same things.

Let 9gag handle this. ;)
Never heard of this one before, you sure it's just as bad as SOPA was?

afaik it's sopa and pipa combined but no worries the current parlement is against it sjem :d (hope this one doesn't fall as quick as the last one tho)

@alex y just like the euro when there were some countries where the population was against it (we had a 70% no vote iirc)

this thing is gonna happen one way or another only thing we can hope for is that they fail at blocking ip's like they did in sopa / pipa
