If you happen to see or know of any others, please just suggest them. I am scraping all of the pages that are "black" and will publish as difintive of an archive of them all once the blackout has finished.

davis_m• 15 years ago

I didn't see craigslist.org on a quick look through.

edit: fark.com has also gone white to sarcastically "support" SOPA/PIPA

gs7• 15 years ago

Slickdeals.net has an anti-SOPA popup on page load and they censored their logo as well.

milesf2• 15 years ago

Book publishers O'Reilly (oreilly.com) and Pragmatic Programmers (pragprog.com) are both black. Guess I'll be buying more from them. They're willing to lose sales in order to protect the internet.

bad_user2• 15 years ago

I'm a little disappointed that I don't see Amazon doing anything about it. They clearly would have much to lose from SOPA/PIPA too.

joeyh• 15 years ago

The Archive Team is doing that too. Here's their list: http://beta.etherpad.org/p/KDVzcBCKTj

Dinosaur Comics has a nice one: http://qwantz.com/index.php

His illustrative powers are most awesome.

Arstechnica.com has a modified site design and focus on SOPA. Not really blacked out, but definitely calling attention to the topic.

Hacker News?

imgur announces that "The Internet is on strike" https://imgur.com/

With so many big name sites on the list, it seems absurd that Facebook is doing absolutely nothing with their site.

milesf2• 15 years ago

Those "Facebook is run by the CIA" rumours seem a little more credible.

latch• 15 years ago

Or any of Microsoft's online properties.

rnernento• 15 years ago

Yeah, has Zuckerberg said anything about it? They really dropped the ball.

smackfu3• 15 years ago

Facebook No. Google+ No. Yahoo No. Twitter No. Youtube No.

jcitme• 15 years ago

Youtube and Google+ are owned by google, so I'm not sure if they count. Definitely they should post a notice or two, but...

smackfu3• 15 years ago

Zuckerberg posted a msg to his 10 million followers about 45 mins ago.

http://gamerhighway.com is blacked out today

runevault• 15 years ago

Was mentioned elsewhere on HN, but dailyWTF is also whiting themselves out.

blahedo• 15 years ago

A lot of webcomics coordinated with each other and are posting a red-background "CONTENT BLOCKED BY SOPA/PIPA" with a more or less personalised message about how it affects them. E.g.

http://www.shortpacked.com/ http://www.somethingpositive.net/ http://www.questionablecontent.net/ http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/ http://www.unshelved.com/ http://notinventedhe.re/

XKCD is also protesting, though not coordinated with the above sites (and already listed in the OP)

gmjosack• 15 years ago

http://www.smbc-comics.com/ is also completely blacked out.

Dylanlacey2• 15 years ago

Wonderella posted a news post, along with this comic: http://nonadventures.com/2012/01/18/soon/

bad_user2• 15 years ago

A more interesting roundup I'm waiting for: how many calls did the representatives get, how many emails, how many senators expressed concerns about SOPA/PIPA, how many have voiced their support again, and so on.

mcantelon• 15 years ago

Rackspace deserves a mention.

chrisacky2• 15 years ago

Thanks. Didn't see this one. Added :)

Aloisius• 15 years ago

I'm pretty shocked there was nothing on youtube.com itself. You'd think that would be the biggest target of all for SOPA.

ThaddeusQuay22• 15 years ago

You missed one of my favorite porn sites.

ThaddeusQuay22• 15 years ago

Dear Downvoting Moralist: The porn industry has done more for freedom of expression and upholding of due process than you have. The site I mentioned has/had a blackout message, and therefore qualifies for the list. My comment was purely factual.

Also missed: http://2600.com

My congressman is taking his name off SOPA today!

I think the most impressive are the publishers and the webcomic artists. Having actual content creators and distributors opposing the acts gives much more authority to the entire blackout.
