Say NO to LSSI. Freedom of Speech in Danger in Spain.


Freedom of expression is in real danger now in Spain. If the Electronic Commerce (Society of Information Services) Directive is approved, most websites that are not "properly" registered would be considered illegal and have to face enormous fees which will in fact paralyse their activity forever.

Campaign Support Statement letter against the LSSI:





Excma. Sra. Dña. Anna Birulés i Bertran
MINISTRA DE CIENCIA Y TECNOLOGIA

Señora:

Por la presente solicito la retirada del anteproyecto de la Ley de
Servicios de la Sociedad de la Información y de Comercio Electrónico, el
cual aparece publicado para consulta pública en la dirección de Internet
 http://www.setsi.mcyt.es/novedad/consulta_anteproyecto.htm. Asimismo le
solicito el cese inmediato de los responsables políticos de la redacción
de dicho anteproyecto, puesto que con su actuación han demostrado un
desconocimiento absoluto de lo que representa Internet para el desarrollo
de la sociedad española.

A mi entender, el texto del anteproyecto supone el fin de la Internet
española concebida como un espacio libre, al establecer censura previa de
los contenidos presentes en la Red, así como trabas administrativas de
imposible cumplimiento para todas aquellas iniciativas que permiten
publicar información libre en la Red española.

El citado anteproyecto contradice todas las declaraciones efectuadas por
Vd. y por el presidente del Gobierno, Excmo. Sr. José María Aznar, en el
sentido de fomentar el desarrollo de Internet en España, y muy
especialmente el Plan de Acción infoXXI, publicitado desde el Ministerio
que tiene Vd. el honor y la responsabilidad de dirigir.
