A second occurence within 6 months will result in a second letter. Finally, a third occurence within a year will result in the potential of internet access being suspended for a period of between a month and a year.

Have I stated the terms of it correctly?
In those countries called "democracies", when a person is "suspected", is investigated by the Police (not by greedy companies), is put under trial (you know that funny place called "Court of Justice" where who's accused can defend himself?), and if he's not proven guilty he's sent home as innocent.
People are criminals after they're proven guilty.

Whatever you want to do to criminals, even death penalty, you can't do to innocent.

That's the point.
And that's where every citizen of the world interested in the preservation of Democracy have to fight.
And right now democracy is under siege almost everywhere.
