It's somewhat ironic. Adblock plans to display a protest banner tomorrow to its 50 million users. The protest post will remain online for 24 hours and aims to support the campaign organized by Amnesty International for online censorship.
Thus tomorrow, March 12, Adblock users will see messages from Edward Snowden, Pussy Riot and Ai Weiwei protesting online censorship.
This particular campaign is part of the events that will be held for the World Day Against Online Censorship, and it seeks to highlight the fact that governments are increasingly seeking more control over online communication through mass surveillance.
Amnesty International notes that in the past year alone: Denmark, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Poland, and Switzerland have passed new legislation for exactly this reason.
