    Let us wait for our friends' posts. Perhaps they might have some knowledge regarding this, about black listing. Also want to know, whether it will be affected in future.

    the sites says that they are blacking out due to a legislation by U.S Congress which could affect the usage of free and open internet.so we cannot access it for the next 24 hours.

    All governments and societies have their own idea about freedom of expression. But the media including internet demand unrestricted freedom. This is the problem. It is the time governments restrict their own tendency to control expression. Let the people be judge. I support Wikimedia totally.

    Wikipedia is a source of information. The source must be free of any restrictions. The users expect to know everything by using Wikipedia. If Wikipedia fails, users will feel cheated. The United states government wants to restrict this free flow of information. In fact, all governments want to restrict free flow of information.

    I support the free flow of information and oppose government tendency to restrict.
