[Foundation-l] How SOPA will hurt the free web and Wikipedia

Wed Dec 14 23:10:32 UTC 2011

87% is more than sufficient.

En.wikipedia (not that one, I'm native of ptwiki and I voted in it too) it's like a whole country.

It's simple impossible to reach a consensus in a place where have 500 people voting.
Sometimes polls are the only way. I'm not saying the best. It's the only.
