The SOPA Blackout Roundup
- bad_user 15y agoA more interesting roundup I'm waiting for: how many calls did the representatives get, how many emails, how many senators expressed concerns about SOPA/PIPA, how many have voiced their support again, and so on.
- chrisacky 15y agoIf you happen to see or know of any others, please just suggest them. I am scraping all of the pages that are "black" and will publish as difintive of an archive of them all once the blackout has finished.
- davis_m 15y agoI didn't see craigslist.org on a quick look through. edit: fark.com has also gone white to sarcastically "support" SOPA/PIPA
- gs7 15y agoSlickdeals.net has an anti-SOPA popup on page load and they censored their logo as well.
- milesf 15y agoBook publishers O'Reilly (oreilly.com) and Pragmatic Programmers (pragprog.com) are both black. Guess I'll be buying more from them. They're willing to lose sales in order to protect the internet.
- bad_user 15y agoI'm a little disappointed that I don't see Amazon doing anything about it. They clearly would have much to lose from SOPA/PIPA too.
- joeyh 15y agoThe Archive Team is doing that too. Here's their list: http://beta.etherpad.org/p/KDVzcBCKTj http://beta.etherpad.org/p/KDVzcBCKTj
- sk3w 15y agoosnews.com edit: humblebundle.com edit: bitbucket.org (blacked out logo)
- joshes 15y agoDinosaur Comics has a nice one: http://qwantz.com/index.php http://qwantz.com/index.php

- ErikRogneby 15y agoHis illustrative powers are most awesome.
- joshuahedlund 15y agohttp://www.revitcity.com http://www.revitcity.com
- orofino 15y agoArstechnica.com has a modified site design and focus on SOPA. Not really blacked out, but definitely calling attention to the topic.
- e28eta 15y agoHacker News?
- spindritf 15y agoimgur announces that "The Internet is on strike" https://imgur.com/ https://imgur.com/

- powrtoch 15y agoWith so many big name sites on the list, it seems absurd that Facebook is doing absolutely nothing with their site.
- deleted 15y ago[deleted]
- milesf 15y agoThose "Facebook is run by the CIA" rumours seem a little more credible.
- latch 15y agoOr any of Microsoft's online properties.
- rnernento 15y agoYeah, has Zuckerberg said anything about it? They really dropped the ball.
- smackfu 15y agoFacebook No. Google+ No. Yahoo No. Twitter No. Youtube No.
- smackfu 15y agoZuckerberg posted a msg to his 10 million followers about 45 mins ago. http://www.facebook.com/zuck http://www.facebook.com/zuck
- pawn 15y agohttp://gamerhighway.com http://gamerhighway.com is blacked out today
- runevault 15y agoWas mentioned elsewhere on HN, but dailyWTF is also whiting themselves out.
- blahedo 15y agoA lot of webcomics coordinated with each other and are posting a red-background "CONTENT BLOCKED BY SOPA/PIPA" with a more or less personalised message about how it affects them. E.g. http://www.shortpacked.com/ http://www.shortpacked.com/ http://www.somethingpositive.net/ http://www.somethingpositive.net/ http://www.questionablecontent.net/ http://www.questionablecontent.net/ http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/ http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/ http://www.unshelved.com/ http://www.unshelved.com/ http://notinventedhe.re/ http://notinventedhe.re/ XKCD is also protesting, though not coordinated with the above sites (and already listed in the OP)
- gmjosack 15y agohttp://www.smbc-comics.com/ http://www.smbc-comics.com/ is also completely blacked out.
- Dylanlacey 15y agoWonderella posted a news post, along with this comic: http://nonadventures.com/2012/01/18/soon/ http://nonadventures.com/2012/01/18/soon/
- mcantelon 15y agoRackspace deserves a mention. http://www.rackspace.com/ http://www.rackspace.com/
- chrisacky 15y agoThanks. Didn't see this one. Added :)
- Aloisius 15y agoI'm pretty shocked there was nothing on youtube.com itself. You'd think that would be the biggest target of all for SOPA.
- ThaddeusQuay2 15y agoYou missed one of my favorite porn sites. http://xnxx.com http://xnxx.com
- ThaddeusQuay2 15y agoDear Downvoting Moralist: The porn industry has done more for freedom of expression and upholding of due process than you have. The site I mentioned has/had a blackout message, and therefore qualifies for the list. My comment was purely factual. Also missed: http://2600.com http://2600.com
- funthree 15y agoMy congressman is taking his name off SOPA today! http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3480951 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3480951
- Dylanlacey 15y agoI think the most impressive are the publishers and the webcomic artists. Having actual content creators and distributors opposing the acts gives much more authority to the entire blackout.
