Russia has completely blocked Wikipedia over a single article

By Alfie Joshua1 min readGoogle News

If there are two things the Russian government hates, its gay people and weed. It hates them so much that it’s willing to order Internet service providers in Russia to block access to websites that fail to censor information regarding those two subjects, even extremely popular websites like Wikipedia. Apparently there was an article on the Russian-language version of Wikipedia that contained banned information on cannabis, which prompted the government to order a nation-wide block on the website.
