I’m glad to see this getting NYT coverage, but the writing of this article is rather shameful. Referring to Tumblr’s censorship awareness raising as a “stunt”, lumping the resistance into “Internet firms like Google and Facebook” (despite Facebook’s lack of activism) and minimizing Wikipedia’s blackout’s effect to “no doubt causing panic among countless students who have a paper due” are incredibly simplistic and condescending.
