Irrepressible.info goes global 20 July 06
Following the success of the irrepressible.info launch in the UK, Soda has teamed up with Amnesty again to release an updated truly global version supporting multiple languages (currently English, French, Spanish with Arabic to follow soon). This is the second phase of irrepressible.info with an exciting third phase already in the making.
The update coincides with an Amnesty report about the role of Yahoo!, Microsoft and Google in internet repression in China. The report can be downloaded from irrepressible.info or Amnesty (see press release).
Please keep up the amazing support for this campaign so that we can keep making it even better! Also your feedback is much appreciated and will help shape the next phase of irrepressible.info.
