This is it… this is the height of what memes and memetic culture can do and the purpose they can serve, and why it’s so important to have this freedom of expression and exchange. Protest, reference, the instant connection of ideas, heavy weighted messages conveyed by the simplest of means. This image speaks volumes about the state of internet politics right now, and it does so by omitting the most important and recognizable part of itself.

Wave 2 of the protest will pick up before the end of the year – this time with mass emails, tweets, and negative reviews of the app/website. There is no defined date yet, so make sure to follow this blog and the Twitter page ( @logoffprotest ) for updates.
Just Wave 1 on its own was a success – dropping Verizon’s stock.
Imaging what Wave 2 would do? Or even Wave 3 – a longer protest?!
Thank you all so much – from the bottom of my heart. Without you guys protesting, this would have not happened. Tumblr wouldn’t have heard our voices and the world wouldn’t know we do not tolerate the targetting of content creators and sex workers.
So thank you. Really.
Let’s continue making this community better – together.
