SOPA: What if Google, Facebook and Twitter Went Offline in Protest?

I will pray for this to happen. And SOPA would never be heard from again.
That would be something. :twisted:

That would suck, but would be amazing at the same time.

It seems 'Agent' Smith has not heard about Google or Anonymous. I have a feeling that anons are going to do something massively fucked up.. :twisted:

For anyone who wants to add their voice effectively to this fight -- if you're not already aware of them, or haven't already used them -- use the links below:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

When you visit Wikipedia, English Main Page, you will be redirected to a petition page. There you will find links to automatically protest on your Facebook, Google +, and Twitter accounts.

http://sopastrike.com/strike

Here, if you're an American citizen, you can sign a petition in protest, but, even if you're not an American citizen, there is also a link for other nationals to protest.


Also, will Teddy or Alex add their own protest on NolanFans -- front page, perhaps?
