The movement against SOPA in the US was the largest protest in online history, and as one of the core organizers, we learned a lot of lessons on how to build a grassroots movement for internet freedom.
How can these lessons learned be applied to the anti-surveillance movement both in the US and globally? Can millions of internet users really counter millions of dollars and entrenched interests on the other side? And how can we continue to have our voices heard on these issues?
