SOPA blackout

DateWednesday, January 18, 2012 at 11:42AM

If you are wondering why Wikipedia has gone black today, there is an excellent summary of the SOPA bill and its effects on Mashable.

I originally thought that this was more of a US issue, but the extra-territorial aspects of SOPA are truly scary.

Not everyone agrees with the Wikipedia blackout, but I think it is a really effective reminder of how much we take the free internet for granted.

This will be the scenario if the SOPA bill will be implemented.
