If plans to protest the potential passing of the Stop Online Piracy Act ([URL="http://techland.time.com/tag/sopa"]SOPA[/URL]) come to fruition, you won’t need to; those sites, along with many other well-known online destinations, will go temporarily offline as a taste of what we could expect from a post-SOPA Internet. Companies including Google, Facebook, Twitter, PayPal, Yahoo! and Wikipedia are said to be discussing a coordinated blackout of services to demonstrate the potential effect SOPA would have on the Internet, something already being called a “nuclear option” of protesting. The rumors surrounding the potential blackout were only strengthened by Markham Erickson, executive director of trade association NetCoalition, who [URL="http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/12/30/will-google-amazon-and-facebook-blackout-net/"]told FoxNews[/URL] that “a number of companies have had discussions about [blacking out services]” last week.
