Does INGO object to SOPA?

[Titanium_Frost]

So many people have drank so much .gov brand kool-aid that they think more government interference is a GOOD thing

Reminds me of all of the radio ads for more taxes on the internet
Pay your fair share!

So from what I can tell out of the big three only Boing Boing is black. Wikipedia and Google I can still access no problem.

Wiki (engglish site) is down but you can go to the other languages no problem.

As far as Google they show just a black box over their logo if you go to their homepage. A far cry from shutting down.

If you wanna see a really big stink over SOPA/PIPA, have facebook shutdown for a day (not that I think they'd go for it).

Add me to the list of contraband avatars, too.

Is Facebook for or against it?

I definitely object. SOPA and PIPA are a direct threat to internet freedom.

I think they support it.I mean that they support Wikipedia so they are against SOPA.

The purpose isn't to shut down it is raise awareness. Read the Wiki article on it. It makes a very good point.

They tell you how to disable the black screen on Wiki for PCs.

Must have something to do with the add on Im using in FireFox when I type Wikipedia this is what I see:

I then click on English and I see this:

Its the same for Google. However if I use IE I see the blackout pages for both Wiki and Google.

BTW your avatar (while that is your rifle, you don't own the copyright to photo said rifle) and your image of that laptop are in violation of SOPA.

The Monkey objects to infringement of any sort.

Exactly! SOPA is just ridiculous......

Brilliant!

You can still see the design on your monkey's tshirt though, SOPA doesn't allow that, even though you own the monkey that owns the shirt you dont own the design of the shirt.

It's the thought that counts. And I mean that very very much.

I just looked up a Wikipedia article, forgetting what is taking place today.

 

[EvilBlackGun]

That is exactly the POINT!!!

SOPA is the Thought Police ! ! !

It's the thought that counts. And I mean that very very much.

Oh btw I forgot to include your NFL team that as well.

Brilliant!

Wikipedia still works in other languages so kids that study foreign languages can still do their homeworks.
Or you can use Google translate if you are not affraid of getting weird translations of the articles in foreign languages.

The Wiki Peru site is open. If you have Google chrome or Firefox you could type in what you wanted then hit translate page option and your good to go!

Wiki Peru?
Do you mean the Spanish Wikipedia?

I already dont trust everything I read on Wikipedia, I would trust the translation of one of the articles made by an automatic translator even less.

For those of you still seeing the normal wikipedia main page, you are probably blocking Javascript in your browser. Thats why their blackout screen doesnt show up.
