Wikipedia will be shut down this Wednesday to protest the censorship effects of proposed US laws

Beginning at midnight ET on Jan. 18, visitors will see a protest message for 24 hours, [Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy] Wales tweeted.

Wikipedia and several other sites are calling on lawmakers to block the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA). They are concerned the laws will “hold website owners liable for links to sources of illegal music and movie downloading, with a detrimental effect on free speech online,” The Financial Times reports.
