APC and GreenNet strongly condemn the violence of looters and rioters but we also call for a measured and thorough investigation into the causes of the riots and the use of social media and mobile phone networks. We urge that no new regulatory interventions be imposed until this investigation is finished, and that any proposals comply with and uphold the human rights of UK citizens. Access to communications is a basic right and there should be no “prior restraint”.

I rely on traffic lights following their usual routines, roads more or less staying where they always were and a series of reassuring landmarks along the way.

GreenNet suppports the following statement demanding respect for Internet Freedom in the case of WikiLeaks:

The Association for Progressive Communications (APC) is deeply concerned about recent attempts by governments to limit access to online content recently published by whistleblower website WikiLeaks.

How does technology like the internet and mobile phones impact on violence against women? What can we as activists do, to use technology to stop the violence? Take Back The Tech!

On 11 July, GreenNet staff will be taking part in some strategic planning sessions, in order to review our working practices and improve the products and services that we offer our users. As a result, there will be reduced technical support available. If your query is urgent, please leave a message on 020 7065 0942 (or 0845 055 4011 if you are outside of London) and we will respond as soon as possible. For all other enquiries, please write to support@gn.apc.org. Thanks for your understanding, we only do this once or twice a year!

We’re excited to announce a cool new tool to make GreenNet email even better! Your GN email account now gives you not only unlimited mailbox size, a choice of pop, imap and web based mail, but also access to your own auto response message tool. You can set up an ‘away from my mail’ message – whenever you want, from wherever you are, using whatever text you like. Check the step by step guide for setting up your own auto-responder in the support section of the website.
