Follow-Up of the Day: Internets Revolt as Facebook Backs CISPA: Facebook (and also Microsoft, Verizon, AT&T, Intel…) has come out in support of CISPA — SOPA’s evil twin that essentially would obliterate online privacy — and thewrath of the web has reached a fever pitch.
What’s the best way to fight back?
Sign the petition by Demand Progress:
“Internet users were able to push GoDaddy to withdraw its support of SOPA. Now it’s time to make sure Facebook knows we’re furious.”
And/or share your opposition on Facebook, natch.
Aw. I kind of regret deleting my pseudonymous Facebook account during the last privacy-related fuckup they had. Now I can’t delete it in protest of this. :( I want to boycott the service I don’t use, what do.

Hey, every site ever: STOP USING THIS. It’s terrible in every conceivable fashion, and it does fuck-all in improving conversation quality. Disqus hasn’t stopped being a thing. Use that if you want prettier comments.
