"Imagine a World Without Free Knowledge For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia. Learn more."

Sheaf Saint Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 I hears about this on the radio this morning. It's in protest at the proposed SOPA and PIPA bills that the US senate is trying to push through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintandy666 Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 It still works on the mobiles and stuff, but not on the desktop website I believe. Google has a link to anti-SOPA/PIPA stuff on its US and main front page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz Posted 18 January, 2012 Share Posted 18 January, 2012 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. Our purpose here isn't to make it completely impossible for people to read Wikipedia, and it's okay for you to circumvent the blackout. We just want to make sure you see our message. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Learn_more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
