Protest in Second Life
Here’s a really interesting write up I came across about an ongoing protest in front of Front National headquarters in Second Life. Front National is an ultra-right wing French political party led by Jean-Marie Le Pen who will be running in this June’s Presidential election. Here is the link:

An interesting read. One protester said, “You can’t try to get vote like this, it’s a game!” I found this comment to be fascinatingly paradoxical, as he was exercising his democratic right to protest in the same game. Perhaps this speaks to the complexities that will continue to emerge as users find new ways to interact in this community.
