Wikipedia English is going down for 24 hours in protest, frankly think its more focussed on American audiences.

It would be great if bookface and the googles did it as well

Meh. It'll still be available on Google's cache, so 1 day isn't going to matter.

It seems a bit pointless if I'm honest.

Oh noes, the armchair experts will have to find another hobby for a day.

TurnipHead · 17 Jan 2012 at 21:03

Reddit is too I believe.

Apparently so are all of these, well maybe not for the 24 hours as I think it's 12 for these. Twitter, Reddit, Minecraft to name some of the "big ones".

You do realise if these bills get passed it will effect everyone in the world that uses the internet, not just America?

Indeed and that's why I've been trying to spread the word. The Americans need to know they can't **** with an open Internet.

I guess the Arab Spring didn't show them the power lies with the people now...

Indeed, godaddy learnt that the hard way and lost so many customers they withdrew support for it.

It may be an American legislation, but it would affect the entire world. I am definitely glad these websites are doing this, the more people that recognise how bad this could be the better.

GJ02 · 17 Jan 2012 at 21:21

ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN !!
The world would be in mass riot if this was to happen
Plus see my post above
