The most worrying thing about Wikipedia “shutting down” in protest for 24 hrs…
It’s not that they did it - fair play to them, plenty of other sites should have also done so.
Nor the idiots whining about how they can’t access it, and not knowing why [there’ll always be idiots.]
It’s the people posting up “Hurp de durp, fuck Wikipedia, here’s the workaround to access Wikipedia” posts.
I can’t help but think they’re missing the point. Yes, you can still access wikipedia pretty easily [pressing one damn key is pretty easy] - it’s more of a symbolic gesture than an actual blackout / shut down.
I’m not sure what’s worse sometime - ignorance or indifference.
[And I promise, this is the last SOPA / PIPA post. At least for a while]
