This is inserting a conspiracy theory where one does not exist.
The English Wikipedia community voted on the blackout and directed it into existence, not
the Foundation. We merely facilitated.

What type of action was the SOPA blackout in

You mean, given the $500,000 Google donation Wikimedia received in November
2011, one month after the Italian Wikipedia's blackout, and two months
before the English Wikipedia's SOPA blackout, and round about the time
Wikimedia first made public statements denouncing SOPA?
Good question.
