WTF, If wikipedia get blocked in my country. Then, I am just graduating to leave my shitty country.
the list of countries you will be leaving is long ☞ https://sh.itjust.works/post/27190154
You should leave anyway if you have a chance. Germany looking for 70.000 skilled Indians.
Germany wants the immigrant but i don't think young germans want that. Look at the recent rise of AFD among young germans. Maybe they need immigrants so when the economy goes down they can blame it on immigrants
Seems like a good opportunity to remind folks about the Kiwix project, which allows you to download local private copies of select information such as Wikipedia. It was originally created to provide offline access to content for countries that were otherwise blocked, but events like this have sparked some recent discussion about archiving older files to preserve history.
So, lemme get this straight: Wikipedia is being censored (worldwide, might I add) because a party complains that they are reported of as being accused of a thing, or because of the thing itself?
Why not allow India to block Wikipedia? Or have a filter that hides Indians dark secrets, when coming from India.
Because it's the government of india that wants to block wikipedia for Indian citizens.
