According to begeek.fr, Kim Dotcom , has launched a political party in New Zealand in time for New Zealand’s general election in September.
The name of the party is The Internet Party.
Arrested in January 2012 after a massive raid by the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI, Kim Dotcom is currently on bail in New Zealand .
Kim Dot Com whose real name is Kim Shmitz according to the story Kim Dot Com, formed the party to “fight for the freedom of the internet and technology , respect for privacy and political reforms”.
Dotcom’s Internet Party promises free high-speed internet, a high-tech job boom, restricted government surveillance and a review of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement as part of its political platform.
A political party for those who are concerned about the digital future
The Party addresses “citizens who have never voted before, who were disappointed by the vote or who do not like the current selection ” , it is intended to “those who concerned about the digital future and want an open , free and fair society “.
It does not appear that Kim Dot Com owns the domain name theinternetparty.com or Internetparty.com
According to RT.com, to enter the NZ parliament, the Internet Party would have to clinch an electoral seat or cross the 5 percent electoral threshold to find representation in the 120-member body.
Well for me, I say Go Big Kim Dot Com. I wish him the best and glad he is standing tall against the government tyranny and corruption that surrounds us all. He was the fall guy and as Steve Wozniak put it, “the U.S. piracy case against Kim Dotcom is “hokey” and a threat to Internet innovation.”
