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.
