<div dir="ltr">Hello all,<div><br></div><div>I notice a new initiative, "<a href="https://www.resetthenet.org/">Reset the Net</a>", being launched.</div><div><br></div><div>Its aim is to get more websites to use HTTPS, and to encourage more end users to learn and use surveillance-resistant tools.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Central to the campaign is to declare June 5, the one year anniversary of the first Snowden-derived news leak, as "reset the net day". On that day, participating sites would sport an appropriate banner. The site is also collecting signatures for a "pledge" to implement resistant tools.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Current supporters include Greenpeace, the Free Software Foundation, Reddit, and about a dozen smaller orgs. Missing from the list is the EFF and especially ISOC and any chapters. I also have not heard mention of it here before,</div>
<div><br></div><div>Exclusion can be for one of a number of reasons, I'd like to know if any of these apply:<br><br><ul><li>ISOC and/or chapters are not aware of the campaign (if so, now it is :-) )<br><br></li><li>ISOC and/or chapters are aware of the campaign but do not agree with all its aims or tactics<br>
<br></li><li>There are just too many of these unconnected campaigns (OpenStand, Necessary and Proportionate, etc) and they are losing their power because they all are starting to look the same<br><br></li><li>ISOC is working on its own campaign along these lines<br>
<br></li><li>Reset the Net is too US-specific (very NSA-specific, no translations)</li></ul></div><div><div><br></div><div>Comments?</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div style="text-align:center"><div style="text-align:left">
