Oh my ****ing God, I though Wikipedia was bad enough but this is taking the biscuit now. Just tried to go on XNXX for educational purposes and that bugger is also doing this SOPA blackout! :mad:

I hope XVideos is up.
 
Is it still possible to access Wikipedia in any way?
Yes. During the blackout, Wikipedia is accessible on mobile devices and smart phones. You can also view Wikipedia normally by disabling JavaScript in your browser, as explained on this Technical FAQ page.
