In a shocking display of arrogance, the Pakistani government has put an ad (above) in their national papers asking for IT companies to help them build a national Chinese-style censorship firewall.
At least four western IT companies have already said they won’t participate (Websense, Cisco, Verizon, and Sandvine). Now we need you to help persuade other firms to urgently follow suit before the bidding deadline of this Friday.
