[Air-L] Technology-ideology: Interim note + query: comments on "Declaration of Internet Freedom"?

[Charles Ess]

Dear Colleagues

First of all, many thanks to the breathtaking number of responses to my
earlier query on technology / ideology.  In particular, in response to
Robert Rattle's comment:

Of course - but this will take a bit of time; preferring an "opt-in" to an
"opt-out" approach, I'll be in touch with individual respondents to get
their yea/nay on sharing resources so generously shared.

In the meantime - has anyone taken a careful, critical look at the
"Declaration of Internet Freedom" campaign that has popped up this week -

<http://act.freepress.net/sign/internetdeclaration/>

from <http://www.freepress.net/>.

It enjoys the support of the usual (good) suspects.  But I'd be curious to
see what responses AoIRists are making to this?

All best,
C.
