Re: <nettime> Sign the BAN X in EUROPE petition and join the campaign

Dear all,

all your responses so far to the campaign to ban X in the EU, which only launched last Friday, have been exetremely interesting and encouraging. Finally there is a debate about what’s to be done with X.

[...]

As an European citizen, I always asked myself why institutional webpages include free publicity to these media. As an example, scroll down the European Parliament webpage [1], European Commission [2] or, for my case, Spaniards, Spanish Congress [3].

Sometimes I think that big campaigns are useless and that nearly silent actions are more effective.

Thus, what about exercising a petition to each of our institutions where an X stands, asking for its removal?

The petition of removal may be complemented by a Freedom of Information Act asking for the documentation related to who adopted the measure.

Sometime ago I asked the European Commission on the documentation on accepting the terms and conditions of Twitter and the response I received was: none [4].
