The plugin adds small protest box to your website. By default it’s collapsed, but once clicked, the “Stop SOPA” box appears.
On settings page you can specify the position of the protest box: either at the right bottom corner or at the middle right edge. 
You also can turn on/off “Blackout Day” option. In this case website will show black screen (click demo link below to view the screenshot) and return 503 status (no problems with search engines) on 18th January 2012, 8:00AM – 8:00PM (server time).
By placing this box on our WordPress websites we are protesting against of SOPA.

“Go Dark” is a general-purpose, SEO-friendly utility that allows you to easily take your website offline (blackout) in protest of political issues, climate advocacy, net neutrality, censorship opposition, or other custom causes.
When your website is “dark”, it returns a <code>503 Service Temporarily Unavailable</code> HTTP status code. This informs search engines that the offline state is temporary, preserving your SEO rankings, and provides browsers with a <code>Retry-After</code> header.
