I know that HN hates "unproductive comments", but I feel my comment is as likely as effective of "raising net neutrality awareness" as the silly grey logo bar topping this website right now.


I'm glad this comment sits at the bottom of this post. It's reflective of how the zeitgeist actually cares about this issue.

The Battle For the Net website mentions a vast range of online companies who apparently stood in solidarity to take action on this day.

* Github: a blog post displayed on your feed.

* Etsy: Nothing.

* Kickstarter: Nothing.

* Netflix: Nothing.

* Twitter: Nothing.

* Vimeo: A featured video on the landing page.

* Reddit: A tiny blurred logo.

* Hacker News: A grey bar!

* Mozilla: Nothing.

* OkCupid: Nothing.

What a great display!


> * Mozilla: Nothing.

Really not sure what you're talking about here.

Sorry I wasn't able to discover that podcast, youtube video, blogpost and form. Thanks for your efforts.


Kickstarter has a full screen homepage takeover for users based in the US. If you're not seeing anything, it could be down to issues determining location.
