In what critics are calling a “sneaky” move, Mexico this week signed a polemic international anti-piracy trade agreement that seeks to protect intellectual property rights.
But opponents say the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) will restrict Internet freedoms and could lead to government agencies forcing servers to provide information on their clients’ browsing habits.
The Mexican government has been under huge pressure from the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property to sign the accord, which has been signed by eight other nations but ratified by none.
