Stop the secret threat to Internet freedom

To all the governments negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement:

As citizens from across the world, we stand with the governments of Chile, New Zealand and Malaysia in questioning the secrecy that surrounds the TPP negotiations. We call on you to make the process transparent and accountable, and reject any plans to handover our rights to corporations. It is crucial that Internet remains a crucial tool for people around the world to exchange ideas and promote democracy.

Stop the secret threat to Internet freedom
Hundreds of corporate lobbyists are sharpening their swords as they prepare to launch a new offensive to secure a dangerous international agreement that would trample on our Internet freedoms -- but together we can galvanize a global surge of people power to stop this looming threat.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) could criminalize posting or even watching copyrighted video, handing corporations enormous powers to remove entire websites and police our private data. Hijacked by big corporations, like the six big Hollywood studios, the US government has ensured the negotiations are shrouded in secrecy, but Chile, New Zealand and Malaysia are questioning the process now -- let's stand with these champions to shed light on these treacherous trade talks and empower them to challenge other governments to put public interest over greedy big business.

From SOPA to PIPA to ACTA, every time governments have tried to kill the internet we've stopped them. Their new plan: hide their effort in a giant trade agreement that is negotiated in secret talks closed to all press, parliaments and public. But now some have blown the whistle, and three countries are crying foul. The next few days are crucial and the corporations are betting that this time, the public will let it pass. Let's show them how wrong they are. Sign the petition now to save our Internet and tell everyone -- our voices will be directly delivered to key delegations meeting in Virginia when we reach 500,000 signatures.
