'some people think the internet is a bad thing'

Nick and i were really pleased by the end of last week with the great mix of speakers we have for our 'some people think the internet is a bad thing' event on the evening of 6 june see the following link for more details, including a trailer for the event by clark boyd bbc technology correspondent who has kindly agreed to chair the event http://www.amnesty.org.uk/events_details.asp?ID=405
It's certainly proving good fun in pulling together the event and we are getting good help from Amnesty Offices in the US and Europe who are hosting several 'live' contributers to the event in addition to those who've pre-recorded their contribution and are appearing 'live' in London.
If you have the opportunity to listen in it will be webcast live on the evening of 6 June at http://www.amnesty.org.uk/webcast
Most interesting has been picking up the spread of media coverage on the issue of 'internet repression and censorship' from around the world. We hope in the near future to add a 'news hub' to the campaign's website http://irrepressible.info/
If you haven't signed up to the campaign already, please do so, and join over 66,000 people.
