Had enough yet? Try turning it off for 24 hours.
I have been calling this a strike not a boycott because I think that when we are giving our attention to commercial communication channels* we are working for them. I am asking people to live their lives for one day without using commercial communications channels. I am also encouraging people to try striking for a day some time before Oct. 9 so they will know what challenges they may face while striking.
The purpose of the action is to promote the idea of creating an online not-for-profit communications channel. A communications channel that does not advertise to its audience or track people’s behaviour. This no push, no spy communications service I refer to as a Digital Public Library
*Commercial Media Channels are private firms like; Newspapers, Radio Stations, T.V. Networks, Google, Facebook, and YouTube.
