Hello, I've waited here for you.
The Amazing Discussion That Led to the Wikipedia Blackout
“The debate started with a straw poll Jimmy Wales sent out to the community back in December … which led, over the weekend, to a conversation conducted among 1,800 Wikipedians.
“Support. I thought about NPOV, but realized that NPOV won’t matter if Wikipedia becomes too much of a liability to exist anyway. The way the bill is formulated reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of how the internet works. The repercussions are global.”
And this:
“Support. You can’t be neutral when your very fabric of being is under threat of erasure.”
Not earth-shattering on their own; taken together, though, and taken as an instance of pseudo-democratic digital collaboration, they’re pretty remarkable.”
And they say voicing your opinion randomly for the Internet isn’t worth much. I’ll miss you, Wikipedia.
