Wikipedia Blackout Day
Posted by pink on January 18, 2012
Wikipedia is protesting against SOPA and PIPA by blacking out the English Wikipedia for 24 hours, beginning at midnight January 18, Eastern Time. Readers who come to English Wikipedia during the blackout will not be able to read the encyclopedia. Instead, you will see messages intended to raise awareness about SOPA and PIPA, encouraging you to share your views with your representatives, and with each other on social media.
How does it feel without Wikipedia?
So, I was searching something online today. One of the first few results showed a Wikipedia page, so I automatically clicked on it. I forgot that it’s ‘Wikipedia blackout day’ today. I guess most of us are used to going to Wikipedia pages when we need general information. Wiki is such a big help when it comes to this. So, NO to SOPA and PIPA!
