I’d like to see something with more teeth, and less potential for antagonizing disinterested users (which most are). I fear that this would satisfy us emotionally more than it would effect change.
Which is an occasion for more creative thinking. The most important point, which the article mentions, is that Google et al have a direct relationship with users, and goodwill.
It needs to speak to users in non-strident tones, and engage on a level that users might care about. In turn, it must engage those users to do something that politicos will actually fear.
Perhaps something like “click here and Google will donate $1 to [politician’s rival]”. Or, Google simply gives $1 to an effective organization for every unique SOPA search.
- zem 15y agothe problem is that the users aren't disinterested - they're uninterested. blacking out google and facebook would go a long way towards changing that.
