Hey. It's going to be like #bringbackourgirls because Twitter hashtags are an effective strategy in getting governments that are inept or clueless to go up against terrorist organisations.
<br />
<br />Even David Cameron thinks it works:

Hi All,
<div>
</div>
<div>
Here in the US, the FCC is proposing new rules that would allow ISPs to discriminate against internet traffic based on content. This would allow, for instance, a recent deal between Netflix and Comcast in which Comcast deliberately slows down Netflix traffic to paying customers unless Netflix also pays Comcast.

I want an internet where access doesn't depend on corporate bribes, and I'll bet you do too. With an extended network of millions, hackerspaces are in a great place to have a real influence on this before the FCC kills net neutrality.
