SOPA is blocking me and Im not in America

[ModelV]

So I was making my way to the Elder Scrolls wikia page and then SOPA popped up...

 

Im in eastern Europe>.>

Yeah, there's a "STOP S.O.P.A." link included, so I guess the block page isn't that authentic.

Did you click through to http://americancensorship.org/ ? If you had, you'd have seen that it's part of the "blackout day" protest against SOPA. SOPA is not enacted, and the likelihood of it being enacted is-- thankfully-- low. What you're seeing is a page intended to raise awareness of the issues SOPA presents to not only Americans, but everyone on the internet. That's why it's there. It'll disappear within 24 hours, and you'll be able to resume browsing normally.

SOPA is not blocking you because it was not voted yet. What you are seeing is what you possibly will see with alarming frequency if it pass. What is there is a warning and example of what can happen in near future and this is only the tip of the Iceberg.

Google has a link to a petition which I signed. If all the Americans would sign it, maybe it would make a difference...hopefully

It's been shelved for now...it might come back up in the next session, but I highly doubt this is ever going to pass. Pres himself said he didn't approve of it, but I honestly think he said that just to get some support to be re-elected.

 

I'm still peeved, I can't check craigslist like I do every morning :( Cheezburger still lets you visit the site, but with NoScript active, I can't get past the little pop-up. No NoScript on that site turns it into internet hell lol. Just have to pick through the 20+ sites that site connects to and see which one does the little SOPA pop up lol :P edit: Ah, easy enough lol

 

Just saw this, I'm quite happy;

co-sponsor of the bill realized his idiocy of even supporting this :D

Chances are, the site you want to access is cooridinated from America, and is protesting against SOPA. Why not help?

You can still use the UESP, which is better anyway IMO. Edited January 18, 2012 by Povuholo

SOPA doesn't just range with the states, it's a policy they're trying to incorporate on the entire World Web. Of course, Congress can't rightly push censorship onto foreign sites as that would probably cause a myriad of foreign conflicts. However, the bill is being incorporated into other countries who agree with this absurd act. Unless someone does something (and quick), then it's only a matter of time before they regulate the entire web, and at this rate, I completely take back my previous claim in another thread. It seems they can. :unsure:
