Its more likely, though, that you saw an unobtrusive Ben Franklin image macro in a Reddit sidebar. As many have pointed out, organizers for the Day We Fight Back set a high bar by comparing it to the SOPA blackout of 2012, and the protest didnt come close to reaching that bar. TechCrunch collected a series of screenshots contrasting the two: Google and Wikipedia didnt mention the event on their home pages, and participating sites like Reddit and Boing Boing were relatively muted in their protest. It attempted to focus general outrage into support for Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Rep. Jim Sensenbrenners (R-WI) USA Freedom Act and opposition to Dianne Feinsteins (D-CA) FISA Improvements Act, a much more complicated task than just opposing a single piece of legislation.
Not many of us actually fought on the Day We Fight Back
