Is this a cleverly crafted Radiohead album launch, a protest, or something else?
Radiohead's internet presence is disappearing. As Reddit users noted, their website slowly decreased in opacity until it went entirely blank. It appears that tweets and Facebook posts from their accounts have been steadily disappearing. Update (5/1, 2:00 p.m. ET): There are no longer any tweets or Facebook posts on the band's accounts. Their profile pictures and cover photos have gone completely blank, as well. This comes one day after fans of the band received mysterious flyers with the words "Sing a song of sixpence that goes/Burn the Witch/We know where you live." It's unclear what it is, but something seems to be happening. Update (5/1, 2:28 p.m. ET): Now, it appears Thom Yorke has deleted his tweets. Update (5/1, 3:18 p.m. ET): Their Google+ page has now gone blank.
In the age of Napster, the band has been forward-thinking, so it could be anything.

Radiohead's internet presence is disappearing
No one else has mentioned they're only getting rid of "push".
Its not like the're issuing DMCA notices to get rid of all fan discussion.
If anything the total aggregate amount of discussion has temporarily increased by going fan-only.
Probably a good thing for the internet as a whole. A group where some people like Ford is far superior to a group where Ford shitposts PR puff pieces endlessly to people suckered into liking their page.
