[pp.int.general] [Pp-ops] Anti-PRISM status, todos, media / petition?

[Daniel Riaño]

I think the way to go is this:

"We all are Snowden"

The Snowden case is a touchstone and the implications are huge. Big
brother makes himself bigger and bigger everyday and if we are not
able to support the cause of this man who risked his life to stand for
the rights of each and everyone of us we deserve nothing.

Yes we need to gain non Pirate support for the cause and I think we
should think of this mobilization campaign as something at least as
wide in support as anti-ACTA mobilizations, if not wider.
