According to media reports, a major target of the protest, SOPA (the Stop Online Piracy Act), has already been effectively halted by opposition from the White House, but Jimmy Wales, the cofounder of Wikipedia, said the blackout would go ahead anyway.
He estimated that 100 million English-speaking Wikipedia users will be affected by the blackout and warned students to “do your homework early”.
