World protests in 40 cities to defend the free internet More than one of 40 cities this Saturday, January 28 mobilized against ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement), a bill that threatens freedom of the Internet and signed in indifference (apart from major events in Poland) by the 22 EU member Thursday in Tokyo.
