Countries all over the world, especially those that claim to be democratic (when in fact we all know that they are not), plan to introduce various control mechanisms to increase their control over the content that is published and shared on the Internet.
Cleanternet is satirical website that tries to educate Europeans (and users from other parts of the world) about the latest European Internet blocking plans.
Cleanternet is a campaign to support European Commissioner Cecilia Malmström in her plans to introduce a website blocking system in Europe. All European countries must be forced to fight for a cleaner and safer Internet.
A video was created and uploaded to Youtube to illustrate the absurdity of the plans.
Enjoy the video and make sure you pass it along. (via Caschy)

Cleanternet website clearly as you said sounds absurd,also ridiculous I would add.
When we are all striving hard for Net Neutrality,this lady, Cecilia Malmström sounds like some European nut-case to me,who thinks web blocking system will solve everything.And that too a video on Youtube,Oh boy,what’s next.
“All European countries must be forced to fight for a cleaner and safer Internet”,’sigh’ you sure got that right.
Let’s see who supports this obnoxious notion,maybe some control freak hardliners.
LOL Europe:P
Not sure you got the satirical notion here, you do understand that the video and website is against those efforts?
Let’s clear some stuff up here.
Cleanternet does NOT support Cecilia Malmström (even though it said it does). In fact, it is trying to do the opposite – to show how ridiculous her ideas are.
Cecilia Malmström did NOT create or commission this Youtube video…this video was created to highlight the HER stupidity.
So, yes, Cleanternet IS democratic because it is a parody of the NON-democratic attempt of Cecilia Malmström to censor the internet.
Oh Yeah I almost forgot!
Cleanternet is Democratic huh,my F**t and B*lls**t
Yes Martin I do understand the significance of the published website,but I don’t think it matters that much.
Nope not trying to be satirical or anything,but I was only rooting for Net freedom here, don’t we all?
Wow, that was a heavy dose of sarcasm. Lol. Hope everyone gets it, cause apparently ^^ not everyone does ;)
Great humor, thanks for the find ! :)
