[IMC-Editorial] [India Thinkers Net] Calling For Electronic Civil Disobedience

[India Thinkers Net at Zinester.com]

Calling For Electronic Civil Disobedience To 
Resist The Blocking of groups.yahoo.com in India:

Users should speak up for unfettered communications 
rights

This current move to block internet content for 
thousands of users, is a blatant violation of 
freedom of expression and sets a very dangerous 
precedent of censorship and control of the 
internet in India. It is very unfortunate that 
human rights groups in India, have still not 
taken note.

All in India wanting to bypass the illegal 
blocking of groups.yahoo.com are advised go via: 
http://anon.free.anonymizer.com/http://groups.yahoo.com

1. Advertise this among other users.

2. All users are invited to send at least 10 
e-mail messages a day @ each of these e-mail 
addresses a, b, c and d. [see addresses below] If 
only a few hundred people repeatedly send them 10 
blank messages a day, that would help jam their 
pipes and slow down their mail servers.
All moderators running lists on groups.yahoo.com 
with subscribers in India are invited to join and 
invite their users to send blank messages and or 
Protest letters to people listed under a, b, c,d.

3. Internet users abroad are invited to join in solidarity

4. Call a 'Flash mob' in Delhi at Electronic 
Niketan on Lodi Road in Delhi. Or in other 
cities in solidarity with ..... users get in 
touch with http://www.mumbaimobs.org/

In solidarity
