After the defeat of PIPA (Protect IP Act) and SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act), another controversy is catching the attention of youths all across America, KONY.
KONY (pronounced Kohn-nee) is an acronym for "Keepers of Netizen Youths."
Although KONY claims to protect the youth, the real result is an erosion of freedom. Those affected felt less secure, not more. If not defeated, KONY will limit the access to information and ultimately threaten the freedom of speech. While we agree that distribution of illegal web contents can be a serious issue, we do not believe that KONY is the right means to address it.
Activists are engaging 20 celebrity culture makers (including Bill Gates and facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg) and 12 policies makers to put an end to KONY.
Do your research. Find out more. Write to your representative and encourage them to STOP AT NOTHING to STOP KONY in 2012.
