Hi Alejandro,
There have been several protests in Second Life that might be of
interest to you.
1) Protests against Linden Labs
Recently there have been several protests against the Adult Content
Change. See for instance:

There has been a protest against the introduction of voice in SL by
transgender groups. Unfortunately I can’t find the info on the web
right now. But there is a nice machinima on youtube about it.
The Sl Rights and Politics website lists several in-world protests
like the "BDSM is Safe - BDSM is not Abuse" group that had billboards
all over SL. See:

2) Protest against sexual content
Sims with extreme sexual content, like The Hard Alley sim:

Of a different kind has been the IBM protest where IBM's islands were
occupied:
