What is CISPA Blackout?
I don't have any idea what is it 
What is CISPA? CISPA stands for Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA).
What does it do? CISPA would allow for voluntary information sharing between private companies and the government in the event of a cyber attack. If the government detects a cyber attack that might take down Facebook or Google, for example, they could notify those companies. At the same time, Facebook or Google could inform the feds if they notice unusual activity on their networks that might suggest a cyber attack.
Sounds OK. What's the problem? Backers argue that CISPA is necessary to protect the U.S. against cyber attacks from countries like China and Iran. But opponents said that it would allow companies to easily hand over users' private information to the government thanks to a liability clause. This, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, "essentially means CISPA would override the relevant provisions in all other laws—including privacy laws."

CISPA Blackout is when various sites are temporarily going offline (for the duration of the day) in protest of CISPA. I know various YouTubers that aren't uploading today as a form of protest.

nuuu we need MPGH
Because a blackout does nothing but piss off international users. A blackout does not increase awareness, it just redirects traffic elsewhere.
