- notatoad 15y agoblacking out all the blogs they host (i.e. protesting against censorship by engaging in large-scale censorship) would be incredibly uncool and sure to do more harm than good.
- spicyj 15y agoI agree completely, but my point is that what they're doing is likely to have little effect -- who goes to wordpress.com?
- dangrossman 15y agoAt least some of the 35 million people that host blogs there. They also censored wordpress.org, which Quantcast says get 8 million monthly visits. All in all, the number of people that see the message will probably be in 7 digits.
- ajasmin 15y agoThey could offer an easy "censor my site" option for sites hosted on Wordpress.com

- darylkoop 15y agoAny WordPress.com site can protest by going to Settings → Protest SOPA/PIPA. More info here: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/01/18/join-our-censorship-protest/ http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/01/18/join-our-censorship-...
- Wab 15y agoIf they would do that (which they won't, ever .. never) .. Well it'd be bloody awesome.
