Protest Aims to ‘Take Down' WhiteHouse.Gov on Inauguration Day |
2017-01-14 |
[Free Beacon] A leading public-relations service blasted and then removed a news release this week highlighting a campaign to protest the inauguration of Donald Trump by crashing WhiteHouse.gov. PR Newswire, a global news-release distribution service, circulated a release on Thursday highlighting a campaign launched by Protester.io, a digital protest organizing platform, to "take down" the White House website next Friday in protest of Trump’s inauguration. "On January 20th, hundreds of thousands of Americans are going to Washington, DC to march in protest of the inauguration of Donald Trump. Millions more around the country will be joining the cause from home. If you can’t make it to Washington DC on inauguration day, you can still participate by occupying whitehouse.gov online," the release read. "Why is it important to participate? Isn’t this just another election? We haven’t lost our democracy yet, but it is most definitely under threat. The only way we’re going to defend and revive our democracy is by mobilizing." Protester.io describes itself as a platform that helps individuals "organize protests like a crowdfunding campaign." A description of the Inauguration Day protest on its website, named "Occupy WhiteHouse.gov," instructs interested parties to go to the White House website on Jan. 20 and refresh the page as often as possible throughout the day. The page also includes instructions for protesters to "automate" page refresh so that their computers do this automatically. "When enough people occupy www.WhiteHouse.gov the site will go down. Please join us and stand up against this demagogue who is threatening our democracy and our security," the protest page states. |

#1 Given the critical importance of the whitehouse.gov website to life of every American, I predict this will have significant impact. And by 'significant impact', I mean that nobody outside this petulant gang of self-important wankers will notice. |
