XDA-Developers streiken...

**Ecology** · 18.01.2012, 13:25 #1

Along with Reddit and many other sites, we have decided to go dark (beginning at 8AM ET) for a period of time today in protest of pending Internet-related legislation in the US. Our goal is not to raise awareness of this legislation. We assume most of you know all about it. Our goal is encourage users like you to get involved.
Once 50,000 US visitors have signed our pledge below, XDA will return. The current pledge count is: 4897
This pledge is only for US visitors of the site, though you can help the cause by getting your family or friends in the US to contact their local Senator or Representative. We are tremendously sorry for the inconvenience and hope to return online soon.
To find the contact info for your local member of Congress, visit the Electronic Frontier Foundation and enter your zip code.
Today is a monumental day in the short history of the Web. Wikipedia and many others have joined the protest. We hope you will do you part to maintain the free Internet (and bring XDA back online)!

Na dann mal prost....!

Das machen ja nicht nur die XDAs sondern auch andere große Seiten wie z.B. Wikipedia, Facebook, Google, Twitter, eBay, Yahoo, AOL und Mozilla usw usf.. haben dies Angekündigt.

Es geht hierbei um SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act), einem Zensurgesetzt das durch die Unterhaltungsindustrie in den USA gepusht wurde. Hier ist das ganze etwas zusammengefasst: http://www.computerbase.de/news/2012...erst-gestoppt/ Oder bei Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...ive/Learn_more
