Wikipedia to go dark tomorrow in anti-SOPA protest

**MJ10** · 17-01-12, 09:26 AM

Thinking about learning something tomorrow? Don't hold your breath! The biggest source of almost-true information online is to "blackout" for 24 hours at 05:00 UTC in an anti-SOPA protest!

Don't think it should be put through, good on those who go on strike against it.

Imagine if Google, Wikipedia, Facebook and Twitter all did this on the same day. People would then take notice.

That was my opinion on redirecting my sites! (That and I didn't want to miss out on any money to be made

Even if they hadn't done it on the same day but still a larger community have noticed that. Other than Wikipedia, although the other big enterprises Google, Facebook and Twitter haven't protest but they are also not happy with the legislation.

The SOPA and PIPA plans have been shelved, for the mean time at least:

SOPA bill shelved after global protests from Google, Wikipedia and others - The Washington Post

about time they realised trying to ban the internet wasn't going to go well.

Apparently they have wiped books from peoples kindles that they paid for just to test if they could do it, shocking.
