DC3 is blocking access to certain websites on the internet. That is censorship and direct violation to my and fellow employees human rights. Websites like Facebook is a expression of free speech and to deny a person free speech is illegal and punishable by death in some countries.

The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion. The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it.

If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

This is a serious call to action folks. We have now reached a huge crisis point in terms of our freedom of speech and our freedom to access information from non-corporate sources. We can either do nothing and just watch the Internet being dismantled before our very eyes.

Or we can take action now and salvage what's left of the Internet as it stands today.

We, the undersigned, call on DC3 Distribution to eliminate the censorship of blocked websites.
