Behind closed doors, big SOPA supporting corporations are negotiating a massive trade agreement called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and sneaking in an intellectual property chapter that will strangle online speech and choke off Internet freedom. There is zero transparency as 'they' don't want us, or Congress, to know what's in the TPP IP section so we don't go all ninja netizens again like we did to stomp out SOPA/PIPA
"Like ACTA, the TPP is being negotiated in secret, and on a fast timetable." The EFF is urging us to demand a Congressional hearing so lawmakers, "not just deep-pocketed industry representatives," can learn what's in the TPP.
If you don't know about the TPP or don't know why you should care, stop for 1.5 minutes and watch this video explaining how bad ideas are snuck into the intellectual property (IP) chapter.
