If you’re in opposition of SOPA, here’s another way you can make a statement online. Use BlackoutSOPA.org to alter your Twitter avatar and reflect your disdain. BlackoutSOPA offers the following three choices for quickly altering your avatar:
- Blackout the entire photo (a black square)
- Add a black “Stop SOPA” banner under your current avatar
- Add a blackout with a white “Stop SOPA” banner
If those three options don’t tickle your fancy you can submit a design of your own to site founders @hunterwalk and @grex. Just email submissions@BlackoutSOPA.org. The rest of the process is quick and painless. When you go to the site simply click on the “Preview with your Twitter photo” button. If you don’t like it you can easily switch back to your original photo. Currently, more than 2,000 people have updated their avatars using the service.
You can follow #BlackoutSOPA on Twitter.
