SOPA BLACKOUT







In case you have not heard, many websites are going to "blackout" in protest of SOPA or "Stop Online Piracy Act" which if passed will effectively kill the Internet as we know it. Along with SOPA is a bill called PIPA or "Protect IP Act" which to be honest is not to different from SOPA.

Anyway check the list of sites that will blackout tomorrow Jan. 18th

Here is a few sites joining the blackout:

  • Google
  • Wikipedia
  • Reddit
  • Mozilla
  • Imgur
And alot more.

Check out the link and see who is blacking out. And while your at it look into SOPA/PIPA and its negative effects to Internet freedom.

    SOPA is a load of crap. Anyone who agrees with it needs to get the shit smacked out of them.

      Yahoo had a poll asking if people support or disagree with SOPA but there was a third option saying i dont know what SOPA is.

      Over 50% said they didnt know..

      Everyone needs to tell their friends about this bill

    I've got a lot of respect for wikipedia with their awareness campaign. SOPA needs to die. Now following!

    Fantastic list, I didn't see that yet. If the major players put their weight behind the blackout, it will surely make a huge impact; for that to happen, we have to keep up our pressure and voice our discontent.

      True. Some of the supporters of SOPA are already saying they may need to rethink their stance lol. Even Obama came out and said he didnt like it.

    Indeed. When you have a bunch of heavy weight organizations throwing their weight around it can get things done and fast.

    Hopefully the blackouts will make people notice it more and act against it.
