jadeoceans: thedailywhat: Internet Blackout of the Day: The Great Wikipedia Blackout of 2012 has begun. Reddit, TwitPic, Mozilla, Mojang, and thousands of others will soon follow suit. The Internet is officially on strike! Why? Because the House and Senate are conspiring with the entertainment industry to break the Internet. Make no mistake: SOPA has not been shelved. And a vote on PIPA is just around the corner. Luckily, hundreds of companies, charities, and notable individuals with strong moral character have joined forces to stop these dangerous Big Brother bills from moving forward. The fight is far from over, but hopefully today’s blackout will help bring this important matter to the attention of folks who rely on the Internet for entertainment and education, but have so far remained oblivious to SOPA and PIPA and their harmful consequences. If you absolutely must scab, here are a few useful links:  Five ways to survive the Wikipedia Blackout. Wikipedia Blackout: Survive with these 12 alternatives. #altwiki: A collaborative crowd-sourcing alternative to Wikipedia. How to access Wikipedia during the blackout. [wikipedia.] I’m already feeling the withdrawal symptoms… The entire U.S. Secondary School system is in turmoil over this.  I can just picture teachers throughout the country at their wits end while school librarians secretly giggle to themselves.
