If you want to voice your concerns about 3 strikes legislation brought in through the backdoor in Brussels, you have until 7 July, the date of the vote in IMCO and ITRE committees, to contact your MEP and inform them that the "Telecoms Package" amendments could bring in disproportionate and ineffective law.

From: Ciaran O'Riordan ciaran@fsfe.org Subject: July 7th EP committee vote to create traffic snooping To: discussion@fsfeurope.org Date: Thursday, July 3, 2008, 10:22 PM I don't know much about this, but there's a vote on July 7th in the IMCO and ITRE sub-committees of the European Parliament. The topic is mandatory blocking of traffic by ISPs, which also requires mandatory reading of traffic by ISPs. I'm not sure I'll have time to dig into this, so please take a look if you might have time to write an email on this.
