There’s a trojan out there that tricks computers — both PCs and Macs — into redirecting all their Internet traffic through malicious servers. Even though the trojan’s creators have been stopped and arrested, millions of PCs could still be infected. For those machines, the Internet will cease to exist on July 9.

The Bill C-11 legislative committee concluded its clause-by-clause review yesterday as eight government amendments were added to the bill and all opposition amendments were defeated. The amendments included an expanded enabler provision and some modest tinkering to other elements of the bill. There are still several steps needed before the bill passes including third reading at the House of Commons, Senate review, and ultimately royal assent, but Canadian copyright reform is well on its way to completion before the summer starts.

I love reading/watching George Stroumboulopoulos any day, but today’s post on #kony2012 was awesome. Love how he recognizes the good work the famous #kony2012 video did…
Whats truly amazing is that a group of young filmmakers has been able to start a major public discussion about a seriously important issue that many North Americans were completely unfamiliar with just days ago. Invisible Children and their video campaign could be said to have attracted more attention to issues affecting northern Uganda in two days than had been accomplished in the last 20 years.

After a lull in violence in 2011, there has been upsurge in attacks in early 2012. Since January, the group has killed at least 35 people, abducted 104 others and displaced more than 17,000 in Orientale province in northeastern Congo, the UN refugee agency said last week .
“If Kony was kidnapping children in the United States, giving them guns and killing dozens in towns across the country just to steal food and supplies, this would have ended a long time ago,” said Anneke Van Woudenberg, a researcher with Human Rights Watch who specializes in the Lord’s Resistance Army.

Joseph Kony is known as the World’s Worst War Criminal. But no one knows that. Yet.
For 26 years, Kony has been abducting children and turning them into child soldiers and/or sex slaves. He is listed as #1 on the ICC’s ‘World’s Worst War Criminals’, and late last year the US government deployed 100 military advisors on a ‘time-limited’ mission to help the Ugandan army track him down. IF KONY ISN’T CAPTURED THIS YEAR, THEY WON’T GET ANOTHER CHANCE.
We need to make Kony so famous he becomes a household name. We need to let the US government know that this MATTERS to us, and that it’s a worthwhile cause. Stop at nothing.
On April 20th 2012, the USA and other countries around the world are joining Invisible Children http://(.invisiblechildren.com/) to make Kony famous by putting up red KONY 2012 posters, wearing red KONY 2012 tshirts and stickers. Our goal is to cover the night on 20th April with KONY’s name on a sea of red, document this action, and send it to Invisible Children so the world will see that we are demanding justice.
Don’t forget to pledge online at www.kony2012.com. If you want, you can order an Action Kit (http://store.invisiblechildren.com/kony-kit.html).
