Occupy Protesters Are Building a Facebook for the 99%

hypnosec writes "In 2011, social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook helped protesters to spread their cause and garner support across the world. What started out as a minor protest comprised of a handful of people turned into a worldwide protest thanks to the use of social media. According to Wired, after seeing the impact social media platforms have had on protests worldwide, several Occupy Wall Street protesters are creating their own social networking platform aimed at spreading awareness about particular causes and rallying people for protests."

Or maybe because the media they wanted attention from got strangled by law enforcement on orders from the people they were protesting against.

I'm thankful as hell that some young people care enough about other people to protest on their behalf against a rigged system that is the very definition of corruption.

So fuck you and everything you stand for you libertardian shill.

No, it has to do with the fact that socialist take offence with the fact that they have to share their communications platforms with competing ideas. Not exactly news to anyone, that the tolerance of "liberals" is far below the freezing point, but hey ...
