Tommorow the Web goes on strike!!!

[enki_ck]

If you plan to use Wikipedia, Wordpress, Mozilla, ... tommorow, better do your browsing today, cause these and other sites are going on a 12 hour strike.

On Jan 24th, Congress will vote to pass internet censorship in the Senate, even though the vast majority of Americans are opposed. We need to kill the bill - PIPA in the Senate and SOPA in the House - to protect our rights to free speech, privacy, and prosperity. We need internet companies to follow Reddit's lead and stand up for the web, as we internet users are doing every day.

The European Parliament has a different position on this subject.

I was reading about this last night - seems there's a fairly long sign up list of protesting sites now.

I think they've got a point too!
