Reason for this article is the current black out Wikipedia arranged for itself to protest the Russian censorship laws. And earlier we saw the site was taken down to protest ACTA. I noticed that Dutch media immediately responded and reported about the actions, bringing the topics to life. This quick and massive response on a wiki protest intrigues me and I want to find out if Wikipedia is as powerful as I think, when it comes to online activism. For this I need one or more experts, who can tell me more about this topic. Do you like to comment or do you know someone else who would? In that case I would like to arrange a Skype conversation.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Thank you in advance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Yours sincerely,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Sjoerd Arends<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>::Journalist - Contactm@sjoerdarends.nl - 031(0)652631868 - Twitter@SjoerdArends - <a href="www.sjoerdarends.nl"><span style='color:#1F497D'>www.sjoerdarends.nl</span></a>:: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
