Wikipedia Blackout

en.wikipedia.org

"Imagine a World
Without Free Knowledge
For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia."

reddit

piratebay
worldpress
www.minecraft.net/
mozilla
wikipedia
4chan
Greenpeace.org
Tor (you might want to take a look at this if you are a American, or dutch that uses piratebay)
craigslist (US pages like newyork.craigslist)

And thousands more will all have messages about SOPA/PIPA
A lot of internet users will be confronted today and that is a good thing.

Just disable javascript to access it normally btw.
Or go on the French version and use Google chrome to auto-translate it.

Easy to use tbh, Reload the page and cancel it immediately. Then you get stuck on Wiki page and can read whatever you need :P

Those sites are down as a protest against SOPA, so dont whine about it, and sign the petition on sopastrike.com.
I personally took down my site too :)
5 months ago
+0 thumbs
Yeah it's pretty easy to stop it going to the blackout page.

That said Wiki isn't going on strike, it's raising awareness about SOPA.

Heaven Media strongly opposes SOPA and PIPA, two bills being discussed by the US government. Find out about them at EFF.
Get more information on Wikipedia pages for SOPA and PIPA, and take action at AmericanCensorship.org

Just check wikipedia guise

By the way to all the people saying "Stupid Americans." Don't generalize all of us. Hardly any American citizen supports this bill and we are as outraged about it as you are.
