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.

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.
