why are they censoring the internet in the usa? Isnt it a free country? Dont parents have rights to block websites as they see fit to protect their children? I dont understand exactly whats going on
It's not that important to me, it's the principle of the matter. I can live a day, or even forever without wiki. They don't owe me anything. But fuck them, their site and servers are fine and they are intentionally stopping me from looking up anything on them. What pisses me off though is that search results keep coming up wiki and I click on them not even realizing it's directing me to a blacked out wiki, and it's frustrating me that I have to either find another source or spend a few seconds figuring a work around to get the info I want.
So we are supposed to be responsible and intelligent enough to understand both bills and the ramifications these bills will have on the internet and many of the sites we know and love, and should have our voice heard in washington, but we are not responsible and intelligent enough to do so voluntarily after being presented with information?
I understand the protest and the reason for the blackout. But also, fuck you wikipedia for being blacked out. Fuck you big. I do not like wikipedia very much right now at all.
Cause no java script on I phone., or flash, what ever the hell it isThe Wikipedia iPhone App was completely unaffected, however x
SOPA and PIPA. They want to raise a stink about the bills, so to protest they are offline in the usa. All pages redirect to a black page telling you to contact your representatives. It is making finding information from wiki a real pain in the ass.
Why not just bring attention to it, but still allow access to the site, like google did?
I hope wikipedia blows up.
