[ NNSquad ] Wikipedia blackout was really "voluntary" all along
Wikipedia blackout was really "voluntary" all along http://j.mp/xi1IQq (This message on Google+) - - - It appears that the Wikipedia blackout is really more voluntary than anything else -- and was intended that way. Digging deep into their SOPA "Learn More" page at: http://j.mp/zJXbzj (Wikipedia) is this text: "Is it still possible to access Wikipedia in any way? The Wikipedia community, as part of their request to the Wikimedia Foundation to carry out this protest, asked us to ensure that we make English Wikipedia accessible in some way during an emergency. The English Wikipedia will be accessible on mobile devices and smart phones. Because the protest message is powered by JavaScript, it's also possible to view Wikipedia by completely disabling JavaScript in your browser." - - - I'll leave it to other observers for now to characterize this in the context of other anti-SOPA protests and efforts. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
