It is not supposed to be a lobbyist. It is supposed to be a poltical movement.

Its political marketing aimed at voters. It should target the type of teens on facebook, that you and i may look down upon.

As far as im concerned, they dont even go far enough. We need a comic. We need memes.

RESCUE MONORAIL CAT FROM THE CLUTCHES OF THE EVIL INTERNET HATE LEAGUE. FIRE UP YOUR MEMES AND BLAST THESE CORRUPT SENIORS OUT OF CONGRESS.

That kind of stuff!




> It should target the type of teens on facebook

The type of teen who legally can't vote? Sounds effective.


Many of them can. And they are still easier to convince, that an 80 year old that still uses racial slurs.


I can't even tell if you're being sarcastic anymore. These "memes" are driving me crazy.


Not sarcastic. Question: do you need convincing, or are you not the target audience?

Im suspecting that most people here, are already being served well by the EFF.

Consider this a branch, with a different tone, aimed at the facebook / youtube / 9gag crowd.

And its still usefull for us, since we can eaily integrate the "alarm" with our own websites.

My memes were an exaggeration, but they were not sarcastic. Lets just hope the people here can be practical enough to accept that maybe the tone of voice isnt for us, it is the most effective way to promote a cause we all already care deeply about.


This reminded me of Anonymous rallying the troops for some LOIC action.

I think the Internet Defense League has got it right.
