Today We Fight Back .. Solidarity Thread

[Ichingcarpenter]

"The day we fight back" is a day of protest against mass surveillance. It asks legislators to oppose the FISA Improvements Act, support the USA Freedom Act, and enact protections for non-Americans.

11 February 2014: around the globe more than 6000 websites, with user groups ranging from sub-niche to hundreds of millions, are blacked out today. The cause is serious: government surveillance overkill that compromises privacy, the rule of law, journalism and democracy itself.

The date has a deliberate resonance for citizens of the United States, who have discovered that expansive powers granted to intelligence agencies in the wake of the 11 September atrocities have metastasized in casual violation of the US Constitution to the degree that even authors of the Patriot Act have condemned. Two years on from success against Sopa and Pipa in the US this mobilised community is taking on the next front in the battle for digital rights.
