Italian Wikipedia users are protesting against Senate defamation legislation which the organisation said would destroy the Encyclopaedia and "undermine its fundamental principles"

Using the social search engine Topsy we examine how Google, Wikipedia, Mozilla, WordPress, Reddit, and ICanhasCheezBurger's users tweeted awareness of the anti-SOPA, anti-PIPA campaigns

The Wikipedia community has spoken. A 24-hour anti-SOPA blackout protest will begin on Wednesday, January 18 at 5pm Western European Time (WET). During this 24-hour period, English language Wikipedia articles will be unavailable globally - a unprecedented move never before seen in the crowd-sourced encyclopedia's 11-year history.
