Wikipedia to Go Dark Tomorrow in Opposition of SOPA

"That's just silly. Closing a global business in reaction to single-issue national politics is foolish."
He doesn't need to close a global business, he can just redirect all users with US IP addresses to anti-SOPA page.

i have wasted my 1 1/2 years in the middle east for nothing 🙁 where is my freedom? where is the freedom my children deserve?

Facebook and twitter would have a large impact for sure, but don't forget that wikipedia is still #5 for traffic.

THey should go black for a day or even better would be a week. I really believe if they do it will get the attention we need on these two bills. Currently i don't think we are getting the attention it really needs. So if not a week they should at least go black for one day. And when everyone trys to access the site's they will immediately be shown why they can't access the real site, and make everyone aware of the dangers of SOPA and PIPA. I really do believe that would work.

This may be the only way to get many people's attention on this. I'll all for it.

Anyone who has an ad-blocker for java scripts, or doesn't have java at all, OR who is smart enough to remove that tiny script locally, will not be affected by this.

There´s an application for android phones that allows you to know which companies are supporting SOPA (Puaj), and for example just select a product and the app shows you if belongs to any company supporting company in order to avoid you from buying it...

The list gets updated constantly,,,

Its kind of easy to work around Wikipedia's blackout, you can still search and a reload of a page with a stop will keep the blackout page from covering the page for those of you who must use Wikipedia these next 24 hours.

The website "whitehouse.gov1.info" is opposed to it. Interesting.

they don't do that, they redirect everyone, though it's easy to bypass that thing, just press stop before the page finishes loading

Why so ?
It's not the official white house page; that would be whitehouse.gov
