    Well that's interesting!! I'm good up in Ontario, the site isn't blacked out.

    I'm glad they considered their worldwide visitors when planning this protest. As a Canadian I'll still stand behind my American friends in protecting their rights.

    This will impact those not in the US as well, if the domain is a US TLD, such as .com, .net, or .org. If you seriously stand behind us, please consider petitioning the US State Department here: http://americancensorship.org/#petition ... department

    yea... but if either of these bills pass, Craigslist probably won't be in a good operating position. These blackouts are designed to raise awareness. And I applaud them for sticking to it.

    didn't they just pass legislation so that anybody can have any domain they want? (they don't have to have .com, .org, .edu )

    I noticed that as well. It appears that they didn't disable their mobile plugin. I blacked out my forum last night and the same thing happened, it still worked on the Tapatalk app so I had to go back in and disable that plugin.

    Nope. There are a set number of TLDs (Top Level Domains), and that is it. TLDs are listed here: http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt

    wikipedia blows my mind...yesterday, I was reading about a band I had never heard of....that led me links for other bands the members had previously been part of...that led me to discover another "new" band....that led me to purchase some new music.

    it's rabbit hole...one page takes you to the next, then the next, then the next, etc. maybe one of you IT nerds can explain to me how wikipedia knows everything about everything. I know it's a community based thing but there must be some software that scours the internet for info.

    anyway, I love it! anytime they ask for 3 bucks, I gladly support them.
