It is likely that you all take many of your basic internet freedoms for granted...saying what you like in chat rooms (even if sometimes you know you shouldn't), being confident that your blog won't be deleted overnight by a government who disagrees with your views (good excuse for not doing homework though), and being sure that you won't be imprisoned for sending an email to someone that is critical of those in power.
But in many countries these freedoms are not available so you are urged to join the Amnesty International campaign - irrepressible.info - to fight for the simple human right of freedom of expression.
So take a short break from your revision and do something that will help others in real need...
Sign the pledge and post up the link on your blog that automatically publishes censored material that some governments don't want their people to see.
And let us know if and when you've signed the pledge in the comments section below...
