If you found yourself wondering what the name of the second general of the Dutch Revolution was, or if that was even real, and you ventured on over to Wikipedia to look it up, you probably noticed that the site looked different today. Different, as in blacked out. And then you may or may not have panicked, because now how would you satisfy you thirst for random trivia that is probably somewhere else on the internet, but your go-to site has shut itself down, and now your brain must find something else to do for the next — hey, someone mentioned you on Twitter. You should check that out.

Anyway, you most likely heard about this earlier in the week, when the site’s administrators announced that in protest of the highly controversial internet censorship bills SOPA and PIPA, they would “censor” their own site for 24 hours. But Wikipedia is not the only site protesting today. After the jump, find out who else has shut themselves down, and see what the internet will look like should these bills become law. mean he will absolutely veto them if they pass in both houses. However, considering how poisonous this thing is, and also the fact that he is trying to get re-elected in less than a year, this is what I think (as a former political science major who has followed politics for a while) might happen: 1. Obama does not expect this to pass in the first place, so he doesn’t feel the need to make any promises. 2. He is giving the bill a chance to actually be about piracy and not dismantling the entire internet, in which case, he will sign the bills once they don’t resemble the bills they are in their current form at all, whatsoever. (Chances for that: slim.) Then there is always a pocket veto : The President takes no action if the bill makes it to his desk. If, after 10 days, he forgets about it (or chooses to forget about it), the bill becomes law without his signature. OR if Congress adjourns during that 10-day period and there is still no Presidential signature, the bill dies.
