The Day We Fight Back, SOPA Comparison, and James Clapper
The "Day We Fight Back" anti-surveillance protest on February 11 failed to gain the same traction as previous SOPA/PIPA protests, largely due to a lack of participation from major tech giants like Google and Facebook. Meanwhile, DNI James Clapper called on Edward Snowden and his "accomplices" to return stolen documents. The Guardian and other outlets debated whether Clapper's use of the term "accomplices" was directed at journalists or Snowden's direct facilitators.
