Or gone dark. Or showing what it’s like if the free flow of cyber-information is ever interrupted. Which is apparently what might happen if a few senators in the U.S. Congress have their way. Sites like Wikipedia, Craigslist, The Huffington Post, Reddit, Tumblr and WordPress have united and “gone dark“, replacing their homepages with a black background and posting a message about SOPA and PIPA (more on those below). Other pages, like Google and Twitter, have altered their logos to be “blacked-out” or censored to join the movement.
And it’s censorship and ownership that they’re uniting to protect. Proposed laws in the United States, known as the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) are coming down on sites that infringe on existing copyrights. For the most part, the blackout is just for today, but the fight will definitely be raging on afterwards.
Breaking copyright laws are bad, and none of these sites are saying otherwise. However, it’s policing these copyright infringements that are causing the uproar. Basically, if you even link to a site with copyrighted material (ex. link to a YouTube clip) your entire site could be shut down, blacklisted from search engines, and have it’s funding cut.
So, if the legislation of SOPA and PIPA go through, sites that allow the free flow of information would pretty much be a thing of the past. And that’s what they’re fighting. Photo sites, video sites, resource sites – they all benefit from being an unbiased flow of info.

Kim Kardashian's Life is a load of bull!
Kims heart-to-heart divorce talk with her mom staged? And so was her proposal from Kris Humphries?? How much more fake can someone get?!
Two Kardashian storys emerged recently! First being that an emotional heart-to-heart between Kim and Kris Jenner was all staged- all for an episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York. The second one? Kris Humphries told his family and friends that Kim planned his wedding proposal to her. Which was filmed for Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Thats a little pathetic Kim.
In last Sunday's episode of the E! show, Kim and Kris Jenner were sitting in a limo, having an "emotional" talk about Kims short marriage to Kris Humphries. This supposedly happened in Dubai in October- to bad it was actually shot in December and inserted into the episode.
According to Reality Tea, On Dec.6, Kim and Kris were spotted leaving a TV studio; Kim was wearing the exact outfit, had the exact same hairstyle, and even the same earrings and in the scene that supposedly took place in Dubai in October. And Jenner was seen being followed out of the studio by an assistant carrying her purple dress from the scene.
Before last weeks episode aired, Humphries tweeted, "I cant wait for the truth to come out! People will be surprised or maybe they won't. #FCC" I dont know about ya'll but im not even a little surprised!
Humphries also saying the oh-so-romantic in which Kris spelt it out in rose petals, was planned by Kim!
A source says "Kim told Kris how, where and when to propose,it was absolutely no surprise to her whatsoever. First of all, Kris proposed in the middle of the day, and he had to do that because it would create better lighting to capture the moment. Kim looked so surprised but she knew it was happening. She was in full hair and makeup, as she always is on the show. Kris wanted it to be very intimate and romantic, but all of his ideas were shot down by production officials and Kim.”
We all thought they couldn't get any faker, but they have proved us wrong! Hollywoods fakest family gets even faker! Like realy! How pathetic!
