He is a traitor in the end, but at least we avoided world war 3

Most people are traitors when they have a loaded gun to their head.

I don't know. I am not sure Trump really values internet freedom, since he has appointed a guy that hates freedom of information in the FCC. I can justify not fighting every stupid battle that comes your way, but I think Trump strategy on the internet could destroy even the good work he has done until now for the US and the work he will do in the future. After all if he is the president it's thanks to internet freedom.

I'm not a fan of these ads because they are using fearmongering tactics. They have all that ad space, they could properly inform people with it, but instead it's like "IF YOU DON"T DO THIS YOU WILL DIE!' "BE AFRAID IT"S EVIL YOU"LLLL DIE DO YOU WANT TO DIE!" and the ad sadly has the opposite affect on me, granted I get the safety of wanting your internet history to be private but I just don't approve of these tactics to show support for a cause.

How many people do you think would read it? Out of that number, how many would actually understand it? Out of that number, how many would do anything at all with that information?
This is basically the best you can do. It's short, sweet, and to the point. It grabs the reader's attention and provides enough information for those who know what they're doing to work with, while also informing the ignorant boobs out there that something is afoot.

Exactly, these "privacy rules" have only been in place for 3 months! In the long run, it makes no difference.

People are generally stupid. Give them a scare and they react. Give them data and they skim or ignore.

And this is by design/social engineering.. being stupid is a choice now though in this new age of information, we are no longer at the mercy of the powers that be

People don't want to be informed, if they had started trying to explain it, most people would go, "technical crap I don't understand," and not even paid it any mind. Many, many people as soon as you say something "technical" about a computer or networks they just shut down and wait for you to finish talking.
Helping out our desk when my workload is slow, most people don't even know what an address bar in a browser is. Technologists NEED TO UNDERSTAND, just how illiterate most people still are.
