The Internet Freedom Movement (IFM), a leaderless organization that aims to preserve privacy, freedom and justice on the Internet, sent out an announcement through video bulletin that urges Internet users to defend their liberty through any means.

The call comes at the heel of news that key world players are due to finalize the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) this month.

The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement is considered by many observers as an attempt to undermine the free flow of information for the sake of the interests of corporations and governments.

Through its negotiations over the agreement, governments and power brokers are being accused of ignoring the voice of the populace. The officials are said to be attempting to expand their authority into the digital frontier.
