To be honest, I was a bit surprised that they actually went through with it. But it's official: Wikipedia is down.

 

Google has given the movement a hat-tip as well, in the form of a doodle:

Reddit's also involved in the blackout.

It's interesting to see the RIAA and even Rupert Murdoch's comments on this. Best quote from it..

 

I wish facebook had done SOMETHING. Even just a 5-second wait before you can go anywhere would be something. Click a profile, see a SOPA message for 5-seconds before it goes there.

 

I'm kind of disappointed at the lack of other websites joining in. I mean for it to make a difference I think a LOT of sites needed to black out.

 

I wish Facebook was down, people would KNOW then.

 

If facebook OR google had participated, even partially, in the blackout, it would have made huge waves. Instead, google posted a logo, and facebook ignored it. I still think a 5-second wait with a message for clicking something would have been enough for those two sites.

 

 

As an admin, you should send out a sight wide PM with a link to SOPAstrike.com/strike/ so they can write there congressmen.

Me no impress. You can still go on wiki, just cancel the loading before it redirects. It's pretty obvious they did it this way so people could still use it.

 

I've just been using google cached versions of wiki stuff I look up when bored.

 

this site did nothing to raise sopa/pipa awareness?
disappointed i am

 

Dude, it's owned by a Canadian.

 

yeah i forgot bout that

but anyways
this legislation would clearly have worldwide effects
youtube for starters

that and the advertisement cut off for foreign sites

 

 

I need to report this to a mod or admin. It displays a mixed animal sex act and would likely be viewed as not meeting google and therefore Miataturbo.net standards. It should be removed from this website immediately.

Just trying to do my part to keep MT PG13.
