SOPA Blackout was a success but it's not over yet.

On January 18th some of the biggest names on the internet participated in the biggest internet strike in history. The strike was against SOPA and PIPA, the bills which the US government are trying to pass to censor the internet.

The strike has been called "The Wikipedia Blackout" in many articles that I've read. Although Wikipedia is one of the biggest sites on the internet other companies Companies like Google, Mozilla, Reddit, Craigslist, Coolthisweek (you like how I threw that one in there?), Wired, Wordpress, and Tumblr to name a few showed their opposition to SOPA & PIPA on their web sites.

State senate servers are even reported to have gone down over 3,000,000 people emailed their local senate to voice their opinion.

See more info including screenshots and some interesting numbers on Fight For the Future's official SOPA Strike website:

This page also makes a good point. The fight isn't over yet. There's a new bill which is being called OPEN that is being proposed now. It sounds promising but let's wait until the details are released before we make any decisions. The government has a way of offering something outrageous and then, after that's rejected, offering something that we normally wouldn't support but will because it's better than the first option. Don't let this happen. Contact your local senate and let them know that you will not stand for a censored internet.

Senate is voting on PIPA this Monday so contact your local senate representatives now!

Being in Russia, CTW wasn't able to see all of the sites protesting but here are a couple of my own screen shots:

And us

Feel free to submit some of your own and keep up the good fight.
