So this law is supposed to get signed tomorrow, and we have to stop it! How can you help?

• Facebook page

• More info about it on SMEX website [they are working very actively to stop this law]

• Follow #stopthislaw hashtag on Twitter

• Spread the word!

• Oh and check the Lebanese Ministry of Telecommunications website to balance the importance/need of a new law/ vs. Internet quality and presence improvement urgency, in the 4th slowest country in the world in upload speed.

You can see previous Internet naggings I’ve done here & here.

Other than that, I wish you a beautiful week. Here’s U2′s Stuck In a Moment. Enjoy icon smile Internet joke

    1. Thank you sooooo much for spreading the word.
    2. I became a fan, and I wish there was more I could do (is there more I could do, so far as the facebook thing is concerned?).
    3. I loathe this government. So sick and tired of constantly being disappointed with it. How I loathe the predictability of expecting nothing good from it.

    At least some people react, thank you Maya :)

    But, well, i’m not optimistic at all about that, Lebanon seems to be going in the same way as China Tunisia … Iran … and oh … Syria …

    By the way, who is the “telecom” ministry ? I mean, for who is his real allegiance again ?

    …

    Good luck Lebanon … :(

    Great post, unfortunately, not once petitions have stopped a law. Government officials always do what is good for their self interests, never care about the rest of the population and the country.

    Keep the good work!

    Talk to your ministers. Call them, email them, sms them, anything… The more awareness we raise, the better…let’s at least get the vote on the law POSTPONED so that we have more info and clarity! Cheers, Maya!
