These rights are universal: freedom of speech; freedom of expression; freedom of communication, including the Internet; freedom of association, including virtual association; media freedom, including the blogosphere; academic freedom, including digital learning; freedom of opinion; freedom of thought; freedom of ideas. A free Internet is our fundamental human right. Free expression is not a crime.
FACT supports all media, including the Internet, free of interference or regulation as the best means of participatory democracy possible. Every person deserves an equal voice and has a right to privacy and anonymity. These are our basic liberties.
FACT believes in transparent, accountable and democratic government. All people deserve freedom from fear.
We have the fundamental human right to unrestricted knowledge, knowledge without borders, boundaries, limits. A fully-informed public with access to all opinions is an asset to both our national and the international community. Education, knowledge and information are never a threat to national security.
Censorship in Thailand conceals a hidden political agenda used to repress dissent. Censorship reinforces social, class, gender, religigious and economic divisions which, suppressed, are root causes of violence in Thai society.
Abduction, kidnap, torture, forced confessions, disappearance, extrajudicial murder, the death penalty, are the ultimate censorship. We support reconciliation in the human community.
FACT celebrates human diversity: all views share equal validity, if only for one person. Open minds, open hearts.
FACT believes most human beings choose good over evil. We believe applying community and family standards to Thai society will result in personal responsibility, the full development of our children and a truly free society.
Censorship is a clear violation of our fundamental human rights, civil liberties and basic freedoms.
NO COMPROMISE: Stop censorship NOW!
