I'm not disagreeing with the sentiment of this petition, but it strikes me as mostly preaching to the choir given the driving issues here. Governments want the right to cut off Internet in a crisis...and the countries who think that's a good idea do so no matter what established democracies think. It's like signing a petition for peace...the right thing to do, maybe, but it's not really a debate.

After thousands of wars peace is understood by everybody, not so about the free and open Internet, which to most is something that just works like electricity, or black magic.
Making more people understand is definitely worth one tweet.
