[AktiviX-discuss] text for front page

[ana]

Hi,

would like to propose to put the following text on the front page of
aktivix.org, even if it is only for today ... and with its signatures at
bottom:

ana
-----------------------------------

We want to stop Data Retention of the type that is being imposed on us
by the E.U. Directive 2006/24/EC because it is a preemptive surveillance
of communication structures:
Imagine the postal services kept a record of everyone who sent a mail to
you. When. Who. How. Where…. This is exactly what is happening now –
with your email, your phone calls and other electronic communications.

We as providers are forced to store YOUR communication metadata – this
is forcing us to work as outsourced police forces. We don’t want this.
We will pour as much sand into this machine of suspicion as we possibly
can. And we encourage everyone else to do the same! Do not support this
attack on privacy!

We will continue to fight against Data Retention in any way possible and
we will support each other in our different efforts to fight it.
