Time to drop Dropbox.
'Drop Dropbox' protests flare as wiretap proponent Condoleezza Rice joins board
protesters are threatening to ditch Dropbox from their life completely, thanks to yesterday's appointment of former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to the Dropbox board.
The grumbles began on Twitter and Reddit mere minutes after the announcement was made, and they've only continued to grow since then. A Drop Dropbox protest page has appeared )complete with a link to a PCWorld guide to several Dropbox alternatives), and it's been upvoted to the highly trafficked Reddit front page, as well as the front page of Reddit's technology section.
The Drop Dropbox website says its concerns are "not an issue of partisanship," but goes on to list some very partisan objections to Rice's appointment, such as her role in the Iraq War, the Bush-era torture scandals, and the fact that she was on the board of directors at the Chevron oil company.
