The web is the most valuable source of information to citizens and the
world at this difficult hour. To darken it at this time would be
disrespectful for those who died in defense of the freedom to know.

perhaps we are talking about different techniques. a web site goes dark
by changing its background to black, maybe with solemn trim and some other
incidental graphics (like a ribbon twist if one is accepted as the icon).
they do not go offline, or stop performing their functions in any other
way. it is a visual effect only to express sorrow over some issue. how is
this disrespectful? the same data is available, but with a style that
represents the mood.
i thought that was understood as the design technique there is a
difference between going dark and turning off.
