The Day We Fight Back: Activists Around the World Protest Mass Surveillance

To commemorate the Internet blackout protesting SOPA and PIPA legislation, as well as the death of Aaron Swartz, more than 5,000 websites will participate in The Day We Fight Back on Tuesday, February 11.

It’s been two years since the anti-SOPA and PIPA protests, and the associated Internet blackout. With subsequent revelations about government spying, there has been sustained opposition to invasions of online privacy. To commemorate the blackout, as well as the death of Aaron Swartz, more than 5,000 websites will participate in The Day We Fight Back on Tuesday, February 11.

Instead of a blackout this year, participating websites will display a large banner at the top, enabling users to contact their representatives directly through email or with a phone call.
