SOPA Blackout

[zimon66]

Tried Goggling (they blacked out their logo, but search function still works) for Dance in the Vampire Bund to see what Wikipedia would do. The DitVB entry came up for all of 2 seconds and switched to "Imagine a World
Without Free Knowledge" message.

Out of the site protests, Google and Wikipedia look like the only two really doing anything. The others; business as usual from near as I can tell.

Boing Boing also went black. If Google ceased to function, it would probably piss off Congress to the point where they'd swear revenge and try to shut off the Internet ALTOGETHER. :(

I was expecting a full out shutdown across the board (can't access any protesting sites at all).

If your post is any indication, I think the Wikipedia blackout is gonna be the most effective one. :)

Wikipedia's blackout is to blame for kids flunking [insert school course here]!!

My kid flunked her test because the government destroyed Wikipedia and President Obama is to blame!!!

I know...I'm a bot disappointed myself. One of my other LJ friends found some places, bt I never heard of them.

Out of what I've seen, Google's the best (1 picture says 1000 words).

Kitty's free for the taking. No idea who the creator is. This icon's been around for years and shared all over.

Good to see Wikipedia has got a backbone. So many sites are complaining about SOPA without actually doing anything about it (Kotaku, I'm looking at you!)

Yeah. A lot of talk and mostly no show.
