SOPA has had its hearing pushed back to February. Do not let anyone tell you this is over. PIPA is just as bad and is still being considered. This is not over yet.

Twitter was considering it.
Imagine if Google did that - oh man, talk about dependence on a website and its effect when it would be blacked-out.

Well that's the idea, it'd cause a(nother) shitstorm and people would hate SOPA even more :3

If all/most of major websites did something like that;
1. it would show how much SOPA is hated
2. society wouldn't be able to function

True to some degree. Do you know how much work would be impede if Google was down? Even if they were only down for a few hours, not the whole day. And that's not just America. The entire world would take notice of it.

Everyone's homepage would disappear, chromebooks would.. die, chrome would throw a fit, and then some.

Society would continue to function.

Google is joining the protest, but is not going to blackout tomorrow. They'll have a link on their main page or something about it.

There's only so much that will lead to. One will always follow the heart.
Though we kinda have an empty gun pointed at their head right now.

I don't really see where you can derive THAT much hatred from something that hasn't even started yet.

SOPA's goal is censor everything, he censored himself as a form of comic irony.
