Dating site OkCupid which was in the news earlier this week for protesting the CEO of Mozilla’s stance on same sex marriage by blocking the usage of Firefox on its site seems to have backed away from that according to news.com:
OKCupid has removed a letter that only Firefox users could see asking them to change browsers over the anti-gay marriage politics of Brendan Eich, Mozilla’s newly appointed CEO.
When asked for comment, here’s what the dating site said:
OKCupid declined to comment, saying only that the company would issue a statement in “the next few days.” A call placed to co-founder Christian Rudder was not immediately returned.
So, does this mean the protest over? Or is there something else coming? I suggest watching this story for further developments as I suspect that there are some coming.
