As clickbait goes, it is rather eye-catching, and I was intrigued.
And the first sentence drew me in:
Theresa May is about to lock down the internet. Will you let her?
There is only one response offered – but then there can only be one way to reply to the question – NO.
So I clicked, I signed the petition, I shared on Facebook. If I wasn’t convinced after the first question, the email then went on to invite me to click two further buttons which repeated the message in slightly different ways.
But there is a killer PS:
PS: Based on user feedback, we’ve been asked to include more GIFs in our email, so as a special reward for joining our fight, we’ll send you something extra special.
Who could resist that? I waited impatiently for the Thank You email. And was rewarded with … (Well, you’ll have to sign yourself to find out)
But seriously – please sign the petition and then, more importantly, share it on social media. Internet freedom may be a niche topic but is resonates strongly with many voters.
