Dear libreplanet,
Only a few precious days left, but I just saw the following post by
Drew DeVault titled "Help Chile write free software values, privacy,
and digital sovereignty into their constitution":
https://drewdevault.com/2022/01/19/Help-Chile-promote-digital-freedoms.html
Relevant quotes from the post:
----------
"The Chilean people voted overwhelmingly in favor (80% with a 50%
turnout) of rewriting the constitution, a constitutional convention
has been assembled, and a call has been made for the Chilean people
to re-define their country’s values.
One of the answers to this call arrived in my inbox courtesy of Felix
Freeman, a Chilean hacker and activist for free software, free
culture, and free knowledge, who asked me to signal boost 'Propuestas
constitucionales para Chile en la era de la información', three
proposals to establish the following principles in the foundations of
Chilean law:
Access to knowledge
Technological and digital sovereignty
Internet privacy
Each of these proposals needs 15,000 Chilean signatures to be
proposed at the constitutional convention
...
Opportunities like this one are vanishingly rare, and need to be
taken advantage of before they’re gone. The call for signatures ends
on February 1st — act fast!"
----------
Is the FSF aware of initiatives like this?
Even if the proposals don't exactly use 100% of the FSF's language, I
agree with the linked post that this is an exceedingly rare
opportunity to institutionalise at least some free software values on
a national level, and is worth supporting.
