Interests who are fed up with what they believe to be censorship, undue control over Internet information, free speech, and unfair exploitation of our data are organizing a social media strike for July 4 and 5.

According to organizer Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia (who has since split with the project):

    This means we will not use social media on those days, except to post notices that we are on strike. We’re going to make a lot of noise. Nobody will be able to ignore what’s happening. We’re going to flex our collective muscles and demand that giant, manipulative corporations give us back control over our data, privacy, and user experience.
    Larry Sanger


Do you have a grievance that will prompt you to go on strike?

I might keep up with news events; but it's not hard for me to not post in twitter, facebook, I never do FB... and other places.. if this is what we are talking about.

Sounds good.  No Instagram, FB or Twitter for two days.
