We Were Supposed to Fight Back Yesterday? Didn't Get the Memo

Tuesday was “The Day We Fight Back” against mass surveillance. It had the support of major companies like LinkedIn, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook and Twitter. It had its own hashtag (#TheDayWeFightBack), a dedicated website and IRL protests. It even generated thousands of calls and emails demanding that Congress support the Freedom Act — a bill that, among other things, seeks to rein in the National Security Agency’s data collection activities.

I know what you’re thinking: “Wait, there was a huge online movement protesting the NSA, and I missed it?”
