After reading the article, I am slightly disappointed. This is about banners on homepages, not people carrying signs through the streets. Please don't underestimate what actual protest in the streets can do, especially if it appears in unexpected places or in unexpected social circles.
And don't think that there is no precedent for street protests against internet policies either. Remember that the turning point for ACTA was the moment when the people of Poland took it to the streets. [1]

- tokenizer 13y agohttp://www.restorethefourth.net/ http://www.restorethefourth.net/ There will be protests on the 4th of July as well in many US cities. Maybe other countries will protest in solidarity as well, like in the occupy protests, but we won't be sure what happens until the 5th of July.

- dllthomas 13y agoProtest in every venue you have available.
- bad_user 13y agoDon't underestimate what media exposure can do. With ACTA, Europeans were already warm because of SOPA / the Internet blackout - and because the blackout was a big thing that impacted regular people, it was all over the news, yes in Europe.
