Because if someone posts a link to a site that is not considered acceptable would that not make this this site fall under those rules of being unacceptable?

Are people not missing the point? Wikipedia is having a blackout to raise awareness of yet another potentially world changing legislation that is trying to be slipped under the radar as being for the good of the world. I'm sure people have heard of the beautifully named patriot act, this is another massively controlling legislation to try & destroy the freedom of speech & allows the US government to detain people with no actual evidence for as long as they like, does that sound fair? Because this won't be either
