eliyesSome things I ran across today that, at least in my own mind, seem to go together:
Anonymous' Rules for Protesting
Fred Phelps, meet punk rock. Successfully counter-protesting picketers. Excerpt:
I learned that in the face of hate and animus, collective action is contagious.
Music and protests have a long history. Wikipedia has a cool entry on the history of protest songs. It makes me come over all nostalgic for the Christmas parties I used to go to. The carols usually gave way to protest songs as the night wore on. :3
Good news for Anonymous in Spain and other parts of the European Union, apparently: EU Law does not require ISP to hand over customers' identity data. (If you've never heard of the Electronic Frontier Foundation? You should have. Anyone using the internet should check them out. They're legitimate and they're working every day to protect YOUR freedoms.)
