samba.org joins Australian Internet Blackout

This week many websites in Australia will be showing a “blackout” popup to protest the introduction of internet censorship in Australia. The Samba project, which has is roots in Australia, has joined in this protest on its website.

If you run a non-Australian site but you want to also show your support, then you might like to grab the hacked up popup code I used on samba.org.

For Australian sites, please use the official code. Hopefully something appropriate for non-au sites will be added there soon.

Cheers, Tridge

    Hey Tridge,

    Thanks so much for supporting the blackout — please link to the official blackout code though (all linked via the main website), as it occasionally changes and we’d like folk to get the most up-to-date stuff. :-)

    Rock on!

    - Jeff

    Hi Jeff,

    The official code doesn’t make sense for overseas sites, as the wording is
    specific for Australian internet users. My hacked up version was intended for non-au sites.

    I’ll link to the official one as well though.

    Cheers, Tridge

    Its been quite a long time that i’ve wanted to say: thank you for all the positive things you have done to help your fellow man – but now that it has a chance of reaching you – I want to say I am absolutely sincere.
