The time has come. Now we have to switch from the technical viewpoint - its bad, and we all know it it is, to a view that your average user will respect and understand. The 'techies' all grasp it now, they know it is bad but it has to spread beyond this. It has to reach the average user and what better than a mass theatrical protest?
Look at what 'Fathers for Justice' did with one man in a spidersuit. It is all very well all of us(and we are all worthy) talking about it in forums but it HAS to reach the average user.
We have to make sure our point is seen (and understood) by the average net user. If this abomination is to be opt-in then the average user needs to know what they are choosing and why they are chosing.
Even a few minutes news reports on a national channel would be priceless. We need to get the major news channels interested,and what better wqay than hundreds of people turning upto this meeting wearing 'V' masks?

Sorry, but I have to disagree.
It's best that people go as suited professionals, carrying a briefcase etc.
Phorm would love for this to be characterised as an anti-global, dressed up as beagles, nutter fringe.
Outwardly there is no good reason for them to be doing this, so be careful. They have something up their sleeves.
I'm all for getting this wider coverage, but not like this.
