Parece que alguem já tinha colocado isso aqui, mas eu não acho o email, então vai dinovo:
A few months ago, the Italian Wikipedia community made a decision to
blank all of Italian Wikipedia for a short period in order to protest a
law which would infringe on their editorial independence. The Italian
Parliament backed down immediately. As Wikipedians may or may not be
aware, a much worse law going under the misleading title of "Stop Online Piracy Act'
is working its way through Congress on a bit of a fast track. I may be
attending a meeting at the White House on Monday (pending confirmation
on a couple of fronts) along with executives from many other top
Internet firms, and I thought this would be a good time to take a quick
reading of the community feeling on this issue. My own view is that a
community strike was very powerful and successful in Italy and could be
even more powerful in this case. There are obviously many questions
about whether the strike should be geotargetted (US-only), etc. (One
possible view is that because the law would seriously impact the
functioning of Wikipedia for everyone, a global strike of at least the
English Wikipedia would put the maximum pressure on the US government.)
At the same time, it's of course a very very big deal to do something
like this, it is unprecedented for English Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimbo Wales
