didnt appreciate the situation till i tried to look up something on wikipedia and was saddened that they have gone black-out. No to SOPA! restriction on information is tantamount to solitary confinement. |

Why is Google and Twitter not doing the same as Wikipedia? The black out got no effect, companies losing money as a result of piracy well come SOPA |

Thousands of websites, including some of the most popular, are going dark today to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act, which is designed to thwart copyright infringement but that Web experts warn could threaten the functionality of the Internet. Apart from wikipedia, I don't think nigerians browse the sites that shut down. |

Cogent: People can still access Wikipedia even as they claimed to be shut down, the protest will yield no result. Google and Twitter who make alot of money online did not join the shut down protest, yahoo or hotmaill did not. |

Copy this code and paste it into the header of your theme to black your site out in protest of SOPA/PIPA. It will activate only on Wednesday, January 18th. <script type="text/javascript">var a=new Date,b=a.getUTCHours();if(0==a.getUTCMonth()&&2012==a.getUTCFullYear()&&((18==a.getUTCDate()&&13<=b)||(19==a.getUTCDate()&&0>=b)))window.location="http://sopastrike.com/strike";</script> [size=15pt]Seun should do same ![]() |

If you're browsing via your laptop and you know how to view cached pages when using searching engines then you can get around Wikipedia's blackout to an extent. |

I miss wikipedia. Apart from that no long thing. It would have had a significant effect if giants like Facebook, Google and Twitter had joined! |
Re: SOPA Black Out On The Internet (how Is It Affecting You?) by dellnet: 11:48am On Jan 18, 2012 |
Well, if you search for an article on google it will probably end up sending you to wikipedia. I decided to migrate to open-source software today and did some search on KDE, most of the open-source sites are blacked out. I think I should "re-think" my migration move. |

I don't think SOPA extends to Naija, I have been on Wikipedia throughout today and no yawa. |
Re: SOPA Black Out On The Internet (how Is It Affecting You?) by manny4life(m): 4:39pm On Jan 18, 2012 |
They will pay attention when they receive up to 100,000 calls daily with different opinions. |

If only Google went ahead and blocked out its search bar then the protest would have been given much depth. |
