With the passage of the Communications Decency Act, I have been trying to think of ways to protest that would be both legal and effective. The "Thousand Points of Darkness" campaign, while highly visible, was largely symbolic and did little to get the point across to the government.
I'd like to suggest a more hard-line form of protest: Shut off Web and ftp access to sites from the .gov and .mil domains.
With a few simple changes to config files here and there, it would be easy to completely block the US government from accessing our Web pages. As they attempt to censor us, let us return the gesture by blocking off their access to our information.
