“Occupy Flash, a group dedicated to seeing the end of the Flash platform, has called on all PC users to uninstall the Flash Player plugin from their desktop browsers,” Electronista reports. “The group calls themselves ‘The movement to rid the world of the Flash Player plugin.’ As far as the group is concerned, the death of mobile Flash is not enough, and it wants to see the end of all Flash development.”
