INTERNET INSIDER November 27th, 2015

Wow! When the chips are down, the Internet sure knows how to stand up! We’ve been sounding the alarm about a crucial EU Commission proposal happening soon — new copyright rules that would dangerously undermine our right to link, share videos, and express ourselves freely online. That’s why we launched a powerful new Internet Voice tool to enable you to have your say in this process. And we were blown away by the response — in just the past week, over 10,000 have taken the time to tell the EU Commission to think twice and protect our Right to Link. Your OpenMedia team is busy cooking up new ways to make sure your voice is heard — so stay tuned!
