A browser extension for creating unions/campaigns, that can collectively decide whether to e.g. boycott a website. If they so decide, all members of that union will, when visiting the page during the time-period of the boycott, see a message explaining the reasons for the boycott instead of the site.

(Or the union can decide to display a banner with a message at the bottom of the page, if a full boycott is too strong.)

Eventually the idea is to allow for a more integrated discussion about websites _on the website itself_ (i.e., forums with threads for pages/sites, accessible from that page via the extension, so that starting or participating in the discussion becomes easy).

I think a lot of the difficulties we have in collective organization in the realm of the internet can be ameliorated with a tool of this nature. Think of what it would take to effectively signal something to facebook. How would you find people who might have similar demands as you to organize a boycott? How would they find you? How would you remember about the boycott? How would Facebook know what the "canonical" set of demands are?

The work so far is here: https://izens.net/ (and on github: https://github.com/izens-net). There's still a lot to do, but a basic version of the browser extension already works.

(Other people were involved too, and some did in fact more work than me, in case the tone above suggests it's entirely me work.)
