As Paris mourned the loss of its 129 civilians in the terrorist attacks late Friday night, the rest of the world followed. In the hours after the attacks, support erupted: tech companies alike Skype, Airbnb, Facebook, and among others, opened their services to aid Paris victims through the weekend for free. Social media sites, such as YouTube and Tumblr, have also shown their support by exhibiting the grieving country’s flag.
