*@Domas, @Tim: As Wikimedia tech staff. Have you changed your mind? Are you
working to blackout English Wikipedia?*

attention from public and medias. People should read about the bill,
think about the rights they would be surrendering if the bill passes.
If (when) the bill appears again, people will be ready to have an
informed opinion about it, an
