No, I believe it will alter how the news media writes their story about the Reddit blackout. "Tech sites do blackout" vs "Wacky site shuts itself off for a day".

Reddit, HackerNews & SlashDot down = Tech sites blackout

Reddit down = Remember that website that we reported was full of pedophiles last month? ...
