Wikipedia Blackout

We often listen to BBC Radio 2 here in the office, and from time-to-time along comes a song that baffles us and gets us talking. Having got caught up in a discussion about a song in which the man was singing about a cake melting in the rain (at least that’s what we think he said), we went online for answers.

As per usual good old Wikipedia was consulted for answers…nothing. We were left in the dark about the bizarre song, literally!

Through the medium of the English version of their site,  Wikipedia have executed a blackout in order to protest against internet privacy laws in the US.

The holding page in place runs with the headline of, ‘Imagine a World Without Free Knowledge’.

Quite a big day in terms of internet privacy and censorship laws. It will be interesting to see how the English-speaking world reacts.

Anyway, best be off, we need to find an alternative place for information! Any suggestions welcome.

Yours,
