Get Egypt Back Online
With the help of Vodafone and Orange/France Telecom the Egyptian government shut down the internet and cut the phone lines. Now hundreds of thousands of Egyptians demonstrating in the streets for a peaceful end to decades of tyranny have been plunged into an information blackout. These companies have betrayed their own operating principles and left the people defenseless against the iron fist of the Egyptian regime. Nothing is more important to these companies than the value of their brands. Join us in calling them out on their complicity in human rights abuse and demanding that they immediately restore service to Egypt.
To Vodafone and Orange/France Telecom,
We call on you to immediately open the Egyptian telecommunications networks. We ask that you stand firm against the Egyptian government and allow the people, and your customers, to communicate freely and openly at this vital time.
Sign the petition at the link above and pass the link along to others.
Good idea, but I didn't like their privacy statement. They make clear they will collect IP address and browser habits etc.....sorry to say....
I think this will happen anyway, as Obama called specifically for this to happen.
