Dear readers,
today is World Day Against Internet Censorship!
Amnesty International as well as Reporters without Borders do their best to unblock and mirror as many websites as possible.
This event exists since 2008, 2016 they helped websites from Turkey, Vietnam and Saudi-Arabia by mirroring the censored contents through cloud services.
Also keep in mind that ad-blockers exist for the same reason: we wouldn’t need them without omnipresent online surveillance!
No government shall decide which websites its citizens may visit or not! No critical topic shall be banned from the critical minds eye! Stop and fight internet censorship wherever possible!
But why not start your own journey on the internet finally? AETHYX MEDIAE as an Independent publishing house realises indie web projects by giving you the opportunity to self-publishing since January 2010 already.
Prices start at 50€ for your own personal CMS (Content Management System) hosted on the server of your choice!
Besides, our cloud services use the free and Open-Source solution Owncloud hosted on secure servers in Europe. Prices start as low as 1€/GB per month!
Contact us directly via Email, info@aethyx.eu, and with our help you switch from a passive consumer to an active creator in no time!
Hope to hear from you soon!
Yours sincerely,
the aethyx staff
Dear readers,
since the “Snowden files” we the people will never be able no more to use the internet in the way we used it before 2013.
Open internet is dead.
What we must use now is VPN to protect our internet communication and in fact anything we do online.
Crux here: VPN costs you money.
We may say that this is one of the consequences which will never be reverted from what happened on September the 11th 2001. It took a while, twelve years in fact. But since 2013
your. internet. costs. money.
Not only through your provider but because of your usage!
To show you how much you will have to pay each month to simply use your internet, see one of those VPN comparison charts:
http://whatismyipaddress.com/vpn-comparison.
We also recommend using a VPN provider which doesn’t offer its services from US soil. Europe should be much safer due to the fact we have better privacy protection as well as less conservative storage options for your data. Also keep in mind to choose a VPN provider which never saves your logs.
We hope we could help you sheding some light on this serious topic. It’s something which isn ‘t mentioned by any of those media houses which made the stories by Edward Snowden public. It’s something which Snowden mentioned between the sentences. Difficult times lay ahead for all of us internet users.
Kindest regards,
the aethyx staff
Dear readers,
we interrupt our broadcast for this special message:
Life. Today. Is. Harsh.
We don’t know what we have to say today anymore: Your TV is tainted. Your radio is tainted. Your social networks are tainted.
Come on, girls & guys! Be active! Forget imperial bullshit and become your own medium!
Visit http://prism-break.org/.
For those who don’t know yet: It’s a website by one of our Asian friends which shows you alternatives to all those surveillance websites/companies out there on the internet.
To know this source is essential these times, especially for Europe.
Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not trying to get you.
Good luck to you,
the aethyx staff
As of today it is possible to participate in a useful project called the
Declaration of Internet Freedom.
Here is the text version of it:
We stand for a free and open Internet.
We support transparent and participatory processes for making Internet policy and the establishment of five basic principles:
Expression: Don’t censor the Internet.
Access: Promote universal access to fast and affordable networks.
Openness: Keep the Internet an open network where everyone is free to connect, communicate, write, read, watch, speak, listen, learn, create and innovate.
Innovation: Protect the freedom to innovate and create without permission. Don’t block new technologies, and don’t punish innovators for their users’ actions.
Privacy: Protect privacy and defend everyone’s ability to control how their data and devices are used.
To discuss and support visit http://techdirt.com/netdeclaration. You will find all the necessary information there.
