Dot Commers To Blame For WTO Rioting
from the oh-really? dept
The Register is pointing out, with some surprise, that the director general of the WTO is now blaming dot commers for the various riots at WTO meetings. Hmmm... it's a bit odd that a group that was raking in cash as fast as possible would be rioting in the streets against capitalism. While, I'm sure there were some dot commers out there, I really don't think of it as a "dot com" sort of event. Well, maybe if they'd been evited to it (and it was pitched as a pink slip party/networking event...).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
