Censorship of Wikipedia by governments has occurred widely in countries including (but not limited to) China, Iran, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Uzbekistan, and Venezuela. Some instances are examples of widespread Internet censorship in general that includes Wikipedia content. Others are indicative of measures to prevent the viewing of specific content deemed offensive. The duration of different blocks has varied from hours to years.
A lone politician doing dumb shit on the internet has nothing to do with state sponsored censorship, let alone a drift towards a dictatorship. This is a moronic take.
When the politician is part of the government, it is the government’s responsibility.
And considering that most democracies are currently seeing a clear shift towards fascism, they do drift towards dictatorships.
Saying it’s it’s moronic doesn’t make your argument smarter.
No, it is not. Unless the candidate brought forth a resolution to officially change the article by the government itself. Editing Wikipedia articles is not illegal so I’m not sure what you expect the government to do here. Making it illegal is certainly the move of a dictatorship though.
Thanks for further proving my point.
