Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, has decided to shut down the website on Wednesday to join Web blackout protest. Several web sites will be down for several hours or the whole day to protest against SOPA. The English version of Wikipedia will be down for the entire day. If you own a big site that will affect others and send a message you can join web blackout protest too. The more sites the bigger the message that is sent. Other sites that will join the protest are Reddit for 12 hours andĀ Cheezburger Network. If they continue with SOPA we will see more protests like this and maybe more aggressive ones.
