SOPA / PIPA
18th January 2012
Today Wikipedia, along with 4 other major sites including Reddit, Boing Boing, I Can Has Cheezburger and WordPress are going dark to protest against the SOPA (“Stop Online Piracy Act”) and PIPA (“Protect IP Act”) bills.
The idea that these bills could severely inhibit people’s access to online information and damage the use of free information on the internet is one to sit up and pay attention to. Major sites including Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, Twitter, eBay and Mozilla say that the proposed laws promote censorship, violate the First Amendment (Religion, Speech, Press, Assembly, Petition) and can harm the democratic flow of information. Try to imagine a world without free knowledge now.
CommentThe Right Year for Children
17th January 2012
Last month I was lucky to be able to work with my friends over at PhotoVoice (and Action For Children) to help them design and build an online site and resource booklet to launch Rights! Cameras! Action! - a project that uses photography and video to explore young people’s views on children’s rights.
2012 is The Right Year for Children (RY4C) and aims to develop and strengthen children’s rights and awareness in the UK. Launched on December 16th to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the signing of the UK’s United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the project is being introduced into UK schools this year to help kids learn about the right’s they’re entitled to.
Any project that uses photography as a way to express yourself is awesome in my opinion and Rights! Cameras! Action! is super interesting and well worth checking out.
