Wiki said they would shut down for 24 hours to protest possible legislation that would harm the free internet. I was reading something on wiki and went to click on a link on the site and it comes up to a page that says:
Imagine a World
Without Free Knowledge
For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia. Learn more.
Contact your representatives.
