Internet joke

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 🙂

    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!

    Thanks a lot Maya for the great post. Tomorrow is the voting. We met some deputies today and promised not to make this law pass. Keep your fingers crossed

    I enjoy the particular strategies anyone provide on your articles. I’ll save your site and view once again the following frequently. I’m reasonably guaranteed I’m going to be explained to plenty of fresh goods in this article! Best of luck for one more!
