There's a coalition of groups from the TPP countries at http://ourfairdeal.org/

As someone who believes the TPP suffers from a serious democratic deficit, I'm so happy to see Reddit getting involved in this. It's proven in the past to be a big platform for engaging people. /u/hueypriest, can you speak about the potential implications of the TPP for Reddit?

Thanks!

We saw a massive online outcry against both SOPA and ACTA that really caught lawmakers and lobbyists by surprise.

Now it seems like they're recycling the same policies we don't want into another package, and doing an end run around democracy to get this into law.

Is public outcry more muted against the TPP because it hasn't been covered in the media? Because tech firms are keeping quiet? How can we make this a bigger issue in the press?

With the amount of bracketed (still under negotiation) text in the leaked draft, what are the chances of this agreement being concluded before the end of the year? Do you think the Snowden revelations caused countries to be wary of the USTR's intelligence on their negotiating positions?

Do you think tech companies will join us in battling these policy ideas this time around?
