Oliver Wright at the Independent has just broken the news that Liberal Democrat President Tim Farron is going to propose legislation that enshrines the “digital rights of the citizen” which would include stopping “any requirement for opt-ins, opt-outs, filters, lists or controls on legal material”.

DigitalRightsOfTheCitizen.co.uk has been registered and we’re about to start a campaign to get people to write to their MP to help define the Digital Rights we as citizens deserve.

In the meantime give Mr Farron a shout on Twitter to say thank you!

Whether she is confused, isn’t concerned about the details or just hasn’t understood what it is she has done the fact remains that ISPs are interfering with your traffic after it has left your modem and entered into their transit network.

They are mis-routing packets, spoofing DNS and who knows what else all in the name of filtering.
