Just over two years ago, Planet Waves along with websites of all sorts “went black” all around the Internet in an unprecedented show of solidarity, to pressure members of the U.S. Congress not to pass two detrimental bills related to maintaining a free and open Internet. And it worked.
Tomorrow will be another day of online action, called The Day We Fight Back, and again Planet Waves will be taking part. This time around, the target is not a bill surrounding Internet access, but rather the unmitigated and unconstitutional mass surveillance practices being perpetrated by the NSA against the United States’ own citizens.
