Wikipedia:SOPA initiative/Post-blackout activities and initiatives

The recent blackout is unlikely to be the end. This page contains links and information to post-blackout activities, proposals, and initiatives by the community.

I'd just like to remind all: if you oppose SOPA, you should oppose CISPA. It's much worse. If wikipedia can stop one law, it can stop another. --HectorMoffet (talk) 13:08, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Internet Defense League

It appears as though they are developing browser plug-ins to automate boycotts. 71.212.226.91 (talk) 02:10, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've been watching http://www.reddit.com/r/internetdefense/controversial/ that used to list https://boycottplus.org/ which seems rather drastic (but potentially very powerful and effective) but which is now listing http://stopthetrap.net that does seem like a very important issue which places the continued existence of the Foundation, Wikipedia and wikis in general at considerable risk.
