16 Websites Protesting SOPA Today
-
You may have already noticed that some of your favorite websites look different today. Some of them just put black bars over certain things on their homepages, and some of them have replaced their entire site with a message regarding the SOPA legislation that will be passing through Congress soon (click here to get your brain all smarted up about SOPA). These sixteen sites are a decent showing, but if the internet really wanted to pound the message home, we would’ve gotten Facebook and Twitter onboard with the blackout as well. Can you even imagine what people would do if Twitter went down for a whole day? Riots in the streets! Burn all the buildings! Steal everyone’s babies! Anyway, here are 16 sites who went on a full (or negligible) blackout to protest the SOPA legislation:
Buzzfeed
Pirate Bay
Craigslist
TwitPic
The Oatmeal
Tumblr
WordPress
Xkcd
BoingBoing
PostSecret
Huffington Post
FlavorPill
Minecraft
Wikipedia
Reddit
Google
I like to find cool things on the internet, and I managed to get a job where I get paid to find cool things on the internet all day. Things are looking up!
