Oh stop, there's nothing to worry about. The government is protecting your best interests.

Hopefully SOPA is dead. PIPA we need to work on.
Yeah I voted SUPPORT in the discussion. Wow, that sounds nerdy.

It's bizarre, you don't realize how much you use Wiki in a day until you face the prospects of not having it. I wiki at least three times during every tv show I watch.

Would be interesting to see what would happen if Facebook did the same thing.

Google is putting a statement on its site tomorrow in protest as well.
Reddit is also shutting down.

I can appreciate the solidarity among the portal providers.
