What can you do to show your support?

Facebook users are also urged to protest by joining the “Stop Internet Censorship by Protesting SOPA event” and posting censored photo galleries to their Facebook walls on the 18th.

WordPress users wanting to join in the protest might find the SOPA Blackout plugin, which adds a temporary 503 status and customisable page to your site automatically. Blogspot users can easily show their support, too.

This list will be updated as I find out about more participating websites. If anyone has news of other sites joining in the protest, let me know (please include your source) so I can add them to the list.

  3. Sandra says:

    Ultrastudio.org is not based in United States, also we actually do not think we host any even potentially problematic content. Our site and contributing community are relatively small and everything we include can be seriously checked.
    However while maybe this time we do not share Wikipedia problems at the moment (who knows the future?), we do share the spirit and will suspend our activity as a sign of solidarity. Eclipse mirror, translate-protein.com and reverse-complement.com will also be suspended. All server will be simply powered down.

  4. Jcink says:

    We’re a free forum hosting provider. Our main site will be blacked out for 12 hours.

  22. Paul Spoerry says:

    Use CloudFlare to protest in an SEO friendly way that won’t penalize your SERP or your visitors, but still get the message across!
