RE: Internet birthday

...Not exactly true. Cf.:

Originally written by Jacek K. on February 1, 2012 9:48 AM

There is an excellent article in a Polish newspaper this morning pointing out that what moved Polish youth lately to protest against anything at all was the signing by the government of ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) which by protecting copyrights encroaches on the virtual world in which the young live and that's what really matters. 

Polityka (Poland)

After thousands of people took to the streets in Poland last week to protest against Acta, Poland's premier Donald Tusk announced his decision not to ratify the agreement. In Polityka Edwin Bendyk explains (in German) that the protests were a reaction to the increasing control of the public sphere in Poland - from football fields to pubs. "The internet, according to demographic study on 'Young People and the Media' has become a social space where internet users - who in Poland are by definition young - can make decisions about their lives independently of and out of the sight of grown ups, teacher, police and politicians. They are participating in culture, communicating, solving problems together, coordinating real life activities." And Acta was seen as a threat to this.
