Alex Lowe on Software and Startups

Remember the EFF Blue Ribbon Campaign in the 90’s? Remember the Black World Wide Web protest? I recently stumbled upon the EFF Blue Ribbon Campaign again and found they are active in something very close to us, blogger rights. The EFF is working to bring awareness and I’d like to echo their message. As a blogger or blog reader, you have rights that you should know about and protect.

You can visit the EFF Blue Ribbon Web Sitefor detailed information. As a new blogger and long time blog reader it seems that a lot of the concerns are not yet material. And searching Google I’ve found no real blog rights violations in the US, definitely questionable things in other countries though. But, as with everything regarding civil rights we should be vigilant and pay attention. I think the spirit of the effort is worth supporting. As such this site is now displaying the blue ribbon campaign logo.
