. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/774qxgg . .THE CONTROVERSIAL Anti-Copyright Trade Agreement (ACTA) continues to lose support in Europe, with the Czech Republic becoming latest country to back away from the treaty.
.This week Prime Minister Petr Necas joined the backlash and expressed concern about ACTA, saying that although he will take a look at it, his country will not ratify it.
."The cabinet cannot accept a situation in which the bedrock of liberty and free access to information is endangered," he said, according to the Czech news site www.ceskenoviny.cz. The Czech government will take a longer look at ACTA's provisions, he added.
."I want to emphasise that no checks of laptops on the borders, no monitoring of Internet users, no filtrations and similar things have ever threatened in the Czech Republic. No such threat has ever existed for a single moment."
.The country had become a target for the hacktivist group Anonymous, which released personal details belonging to ministers and defaced some government web sites.
