#InternetLibre (lit. Free Internet)
#InternetLibre (lit. Free Internet) is an initiative promoted by the civil society organizations Usuarios Digitales (lit. Digital Users), Radical Opening and the Free Software Association of Ecuador, who together with citizens and the National Assembly, request that the executive power vetoes Article 474 of the Comprehensive Criminal Organic Code that requires Internet access providers (cybercafes, for example) to record users on video while they are surfing the net. This new proposal, together with regulations for the storage of personal data, sparked a controversy regarding the freedom of access to the internet in Ecuador.
