About
Trans-Pacific Partnership or TPP for short, is a trade agreement to liberalize the the economies of Asia-Pacific region.
The law has gained controversial status due to it’s clauses and it’s secret negotiations.
The law tightens the punishment of breaking copyright’s and is said to provide more notable intellectual property restraints than in ACTA.
According to the website Stop The Trap the TPP will:
- Criminalize some of your everyday use of the Internet,
- Force service providers to collect and hand over your private data without privacy safeguards, and
- Give media conglomerates more power to fine you for Internet use, remove online content including entire websites and even terminate your access to the Internet.
- Create a parallel legal system of international tribunals that will undermine national sovereignty and allow conglomerates to sue countries for laws that infringe on their profits.
