Is it still possible to access Wikipedia in any way?
Yes. During the blackout, Wikipedia is accessible on mobile devices and smart phones. You can also view Wikipedia normally by disabling JavaScript in your browser, as explained on this Technical FAQ page. Our purpose here isn't to make it completely impossible for people to read Wikipedia, and it's okay for you to circumvent the blackout. We just want to make sure you see our message. |

Wikipedia is doing it because the American government is considering bills that will severely curtail the free and open internet. |

This is getting a lot of coverage here; the consensus is that it a very heavy handed move by goverment: using a sledgehammer to crack an egg. |

I've heard it described as using a flamethrower on kittens because a lion escaped from the zoo. |
