 All done

all done

I find it hard to understand why this is not many many more pages than it is. Everyone who reads CBF uses the internet and if this law comes into force then you will find access here in Turkey highly restricted.
A lot of you don't live here but holiday here and it will affect you as well. Internet restrictions are a step backwards and are against the Turkish constition. This is another step by the AKP to control peoples freedom of information!
Hopefully thousands of you have signed the petition but just not had the time to post "done" on this topic.
If you haven't signed then please do it's simple and people power works as has been proven in the past.
Thanks

Loads of people I know have signed the petition Fi but haven't said so on this forum, myself included.

Anyway...done

I think I am right in saying as a sticky this item will stay at the top of this particular discussion forum.

However one advantage of posting on here that you have "signed" is that it keeps it visible as an active topic drawing it to the attention of anyone who may have missed it.

It will be interesting to see what news coverage this topic gets in the Turkish (and overseas) press tomorrow (Monday) after todays demonstrations across Turkey.

Oh, and it motivates others to sign too  

Did you know that already several thousand web sites are already blocked to those of us in Turkey.
