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
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.
Also, we made a short post about this important topic over at gizmeo.com, our gadget-blog: http://gizmeo.com/die-internet-freiheits-erklaerung/.
Finally, what is your opinion? Let us know what you think with a comment!
Stay free,

Remember, remember, the fifth of November!
Happy Guy Fawkes Month! 🙂

As we are brand new in this business we are always looking for new ways of inspiration.
There are several websites out there which represent new media arts with social aspects to the fullest, as there is
– Flickr.com.
– ffffound.com.
– Depthcore.com.
– Deviantart.com.
These projects, as many other websites, are important sources to fill the gaps between user-generated content and visual forms of presentation.
Unfortunately, despite Depthcore or Deviantart, the websites themselves have this ridiculous look & feel, which feels cheap and ugly.
We are here to change this.
Check this valuable project of us, for example: http://ciphanet.tumblr.com.
This is where artists are represented today: online, always up to date, without advertisements & with a beautiful look and feel.
Happy blogging!
All the best,
aethyx staff
