Reddit Vows to Blackout o Protest Steve Chabot's SOPA Legislation

Reddit, a social news website where the registered users submit content, has announced they will black themselves out in a protes and to make an example of what people should expect if the onerous legislation, SOPA, sponsored by Steve Chabot at the behest of giant media corporations passes.

"The freedom, innovation, and economic opportunity that the Internet enables is in jeopardy. Congress is considering legislation that will dramatically change your Internet experience and put an end to reddit and many other sites you use everyday."

Will others follow?
Time Techland asks that very question. I wonder if one massive blackout by Reddit, Google, FaceBook, Twitter, Wikipedia & others all at once would make the point better than individual blackouts by all the companies at different times.
Steve Chabot and his Big Business buddies tell us not to worry but that's just more corporatist bullshit. Steve Chabot has shown over and over that he is opposed to freedom of expression.
