WiKiPedia to shut down for 24 hrs to protest SOPA

[Zangetsu]

Without disabling javascript users just have to stop loading is the page manually before it could complete to stop that redirection.

yeah I did that yesterday...but its a good initiative by Wiki

Its not an initiative, rather a participation. Granted its huge compared to what other sites like wired or vimeo has done with flashing just a subtle message on their home pages, compared to full blackout by wikipedia and XDA.
These sites have just earned more trust than ever before.

Respect. :thumbup:

I doubt the Black outs will help. It is driven by lobbyists, and they have the funding of American companies. Sad.

Seems to help.

^^ Good news.
The makers of such draconian laws have yet to estimate the power of social networking today. Or I hope they already have.
