The Russian media regulator Roskomnadzor said it will fine Wikipedia up to 4 million rubles (about $49,000) if it doesn’t delete factual information about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in its Russian language encyclopedia entries.

      I hope someday the world cheers on to say

      Fuck every Western country government but we love people lol💛💚💙💜🤎

      and let the Western countries, that are okay today with subjecting others to atrocities, rot in their own mess, with nobody to help them and if they attempt to conquer and colonise again, liberate them like Libya

    I bet that if it was the US asking Wikipedia to edit articles the media wouldn’t use the word “demand” or attribute it to the whole US. A likely headline would be: “email shows US official asked Wikipedia to censor ‘misinformation’”.

      The US edits information on Wikipedia to serve its narrative all the time, just through quiet back channels. Western media wouldn’t report on it even if it were done super obviously. It’s rumored that one of the most prolific Wikipedia editors is really British Intelligence. You can also trace the IPs doing edits to places like the CIA.
