   Internet Defense League: A Bat Signal For the Internet

   mikejuk writes "Following the successful defense of the Internet against SOPA,   
   website owners are being invited to sign up to a project that will enable them   
   to participate in future protest campaign, the Internet Defense League. The   
   banner logo for the 'bat-signal' site is a cat, a reference to Ethan   
   Zuckerman's cute cat theory of digital activism. The idea is that sites would   
   respond to the call to "defend the Internet" by joining a group blackout or   
   getting users to sign petitions. From the article: 'Website owners can sign up   
   on the IDL website to add a bit of code to their sites (or receive code by   
   email at the time of a campaign) that can be triggered in the case of a crisis   
   like SOPA. This would add an "activist call-to-action" to all participating   
   sites - such as a banner asking users to sign petitions, or in extreme cases   
   blackout the site, as proved effective in the SOPA/PIPA protest of January   
   2012.'"
