These sites have "blacked out" today in protest of Stop online privacy act (SOPA). It makes it just a little bit easier to imagine what the web could look like if some of the measures from the proposed SOPA bill were to become law.

Today, many popular websites are going “dark” in protest of Stop online piracy act (SOPA).

The consensus among many experts, internet users, web companies and even the White House, is that SOPA is too restrictive, too dangerous, too complicated and too big a threat to our privacy. Simply put, it must be stopped before it’s too late.

In a way, today’s blackout shows what the internet might look if some of the principles in SOPA start being enforced as law. Do you like seeing big “CLOSED” signs on your favorite websites? Neither do we.

We’ve gathered the screenshots of sites which are protesting SOPA with a blackout in the gallery above, and will be adding additional pics as more sites join in. Feel free to add your favorite SOPA-protesting site in the comments below!
