In Protest Of Anti-Piracy Bill, Wiki To Go Dark
Re: In Protest Of Anti-Piracy Bill, Wiki To Go Dark
The anti-script, anti-ad, anti-super-cookie stuff I run somehow prevented me from seeing the wikipedia black out. Wikipedia functioned normally for me. The thing is, I wanted to see the blackout, so I had to open a different browser to enjoy the protest.

Yeah. I noticed they didn't actually take down the pages (that would be insane, given the way pages have to propagate to be accessible), but just overlayed the "blackout" page overtop. You could easily get rid of it with Ad Block+, or a Greasemonkey script, or just view cached pages on Google.Jasper wrote:The anti-script, anti-ad, anti-super-cookie stuff I run somehow prevented me from seeing the wikipedia black out.

The 60+ year old legislators really have no idea what they're talking about.

Duff McKagan weighs in on this topic and while he's struck me as a fairly intelligent guy in the past, he completely misses the mark on this one:

Exactly. That's why people are "wining" about SOPA and PIPA, Duff.Should the government be able to shut down Facebook because one user posts a link to copyrighted content? Of course not.
