If you wonder why the onverita startpage looks strange, we are involved in a protest against censorship, better described here in english.

It is the new blogging platform, and it is now open for everyone. We have been trying it out with some early testers for some days, and it has been working well. Now everyone is welcome to join! It is not perfect, we will improve a lot of things over time, but it is a good start. I just want to emphasize that this is an open platform were all views are open. Almost, as a Swedish company we are governed by Swedish laws, that for example prohitibit serverly racist materials. But the point is that the law will be our limit, not our own taste of what we like.

Right now we are doing a project at light speed, we are going to release a new blogging platform for Turkey. There was a platform that is shutting down for some reason, and the bloggers need somewhere to go. And stix.to is about the right to speak. So we wanted to make something fast, we started this sunday, and will have the alpha out tonight for the first bloggers to give feedback on, and then put it out the next week. It is very stressful but very fun at the same time. It feels like we are competing in a TV-show or something.

Update on the law: Jon Karlung, CEO of our network provider Bahnhof, says (in Swedish) that they will refuse to obey the proposed law, and deny the military access to its network. Way to go!
