You could write a program that would sign in to a Facebook account, trash the user's profile and post garbage to their timeline. Or, instead of garbage it could be posters that explain the protest and how to join. Hopefully it would go viral and recruit more participants. The program could also change your email address to something you don't know and change your password too - committing to giving up your Facebook account.
For even more fun you could organize a day of protest, where everyone turned this program on, on Facebook. Though of course you'd need a backup page, Twitter, and/or Discord. Hopefully Facebook would ban the protest group and that could drive news articles covering it and get more attention and members.
Not sure how many accounts you'd need to participate - but it could go viral if other people saw posters (or maybe DMs to all your friends?) and joined the protest.
- teknopaul 5y agoJust writing DoS + virus software is illegal. DoS is no less illegal because its Facebook.
- ALittleLight 5y agoI'm not talking about a virus. People running the program would know what it did. I also don't think it's illegal to write virus or denial of service software. Maybe it's different in your jurisdiction - but I'd be surprised. I've written load test tools that could have been easily repurposed for denial of service. Would that be a crime where you live? Even if it were illegal, which, I don't think it is, that might only be a reason against going it. Many protests involve illegal actions.
