I would like to raise the option of a more "Wikipedia-like" protest. How about, on the English Wikipedia, picking one day to make the Main Page topic-specific, similar to the traditional April 1 selection?
Candidates, off the top of my hat: [[NSA]] / [[Black Chamber]] [[PRISM (surveillance program)]] [[Panopticon]] [[Surveillance state]] / [[Mass surveillance]] [[1984]] [[Surveillance abuse]]
The articles are (of course!:-) NPOV, but the topic selection could be POV to raise awareness of the issue.
I love this idea, hell if we wanted to we could have a nice banner on top (similar to how we did for Wiki10 ) to make sure that everyone knows exactly why it's being done. It's not as disruptive as other options but is almost certain to get some attention.
