Irrepressible
The very astute of you will have noticed my spangly new ‘Irrepressible’ button on left hand side bar. This was a campaign which has caught me eye recently, and I’m glad to wear it’s badge on my blog.
The campaign aims to show up the censorship and repression present online. Chat rooms, blogs and search engines are all apparently monitored by government and the big IT companies.
It does all sound rather conspiracy theorist, but when presented with real excerpts of censored material from credible sources, Amnesty International and The Observer, it makes for a chilling reality.
Too often human rights abuses are too distant to really engage our interest. Yet the internet makes the world a much smaller place. We can instantly chat with acquaintances in far off countries, meaning their concerns should be ours.
Check out Irrepressible.info, or have a read at my badge. Get one for your own blog.
Spread the word that someone doesn’t want you to hear.

Well done chick, I'm gald you discovered this, Im gonna stick it on my blog too :-)
My cousin tinkerbell had one of those msn pages and her and her mates used to publish stuff on, some put pictures of themselves on without parents knowing, but one of the teachers at there school found out and all the parents were called into the school cos basically they found out that at night, nasty cunts were going to these web pages and, well you know...
Its discusting that our kids and also adults cant express themselves without these 'nasty people' getting into it too, you know what I mean?
Can I just say thanks by the way hun, for going to tinkers blog, your the sweetest, thanks for including her, encouraging her, it means a lot :-)
