David Wiki blackout
Wikipedia is protesting against SOPA and PIPA by blacking out the English Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org for 24 hours, beginning at midnight January 18 2012. Readers who come to English Wikipedia during the blackout will not be able to read the encyclopedia: instead, they will see messages intended to raise awareness about SOPA and PIPA, and encouraging them to share their views with their elected representatives, and via social media.
