Save The Right To Link

Web users… Our ability to link is under attack, and we need your help to save it!

That’s right–Old Media conglomerates and governments around the world are pushing forward schemes that would give them the power to censor and block links¹–a basic building block of the Internet.

Let’s put a stop to this right now: add your voice to the global network to Save the Link.

Why should you care? Well, the World Wide Web you and I browse is really just a series of links.

Links power the Web. All of our favourite online services rely on them, and they’re what allow us to stay connected with friends and family from around the world.

Simply put, censoring links will break the Internet. Speak out now, and tell public officials that we’ll fight to Save the Link.

You’ve probably seen our campaign to shed light on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) because its secret negotiations threaten to undermine our digital rights and censor the Web for generations to come.²

That’s why we need to continue to grow a huge network of individuals and organizations committed to stopping these censorship plans, wherever they emerge.

Join thousands of Internet users from across the world who have said enough is enough: we have a right to link.

Here’s just one example: a law recently passed in Spain³ is so extreme that it could result in fines of hundreds of thousands of dollars for only linking to allegedly infringing content. Could you afford that?

If that wasn’t frightening enough, powerful interests want to implement this backwards vision around the world. The European Union is the next target for Big Media lobbyists seeking to censor content for Internet users around the world.⁴

The bottom line is this: every successful scheme to censor links weakens the foundation of the Internet.

What’s stopping them? You are. Sign on to Save the Link now.

For your right to link,
