Diebold Protest Growing
Posted by Ernest Miller
WIRED is continuing coverage of the Swarthmore/Diebold scandal and gets some quotes from Swarthmore's Dean Gross (E-Vote Protest Gains Momentum). However, the issue of taking down links to sites that link to the memos is not directly addressed:
However, Gross said that the cease-and-desist letter specified taking down links to the memos, and school lawyers felt they had to comply.
But the issue isn't direct links to the memos (though the
EFF is
challenging that), but links to sites that have direct links to the memos.
In another update, the Why War? website now shows nineteen active mirrors for the memos and three mirrors shutdown due notice-and-takedown letters from Diebold (Targeting Diebold with Electronic Civil Disobedience). Students from a total of twenty schools are participating.
bIPlog has a good round up of stories and cheekily requests a cease-and-desist letter (Cease and Desist Me, Babe).
