Hello,
just realised that the blackout page to which social media buttons point is US centric (Contact your representatives), which is OK, but it is being spread worldwide and the zip code thing makes little sense for someone who is *not* in the US.
Could we add "If you're in the US" to it or something? It's kind of confusing otherwise.
Cheers,
Delphine

Hey folks,
It looks like Delphine Menard is not getting the international geolocated version of the blackout page. I believe she's in Berlin.
FWIW Florence Devouard, in France, *is* getting the international version.
Thanks, Sue
(CCing Jay and Erik because I had earlier sent them a note about this, before I got pointed here.)

I believe Delphine is referring to this page, which is the one that gets shared on social media:
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/SOPA/Blackoutpage
It's a static page and it never had geo. Easiest thing to do would be to add the share buttons.
Geo on the main blackout page is working as far as we know.
You can see what it does if you change the country:
