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.

    My guy… If you seriously cannot see the difference in your false equivalence of “one guy that’s part of the government doing something” and “the entire government doing it”, then I’m truly hoping you’re not a voter. Speaking of moronic takes…

      I never said it was equivalent, just pointing at the problem with your “logic”.

      You are too focused on your pathetic ad hominems to be able to read.

      Have a good day

        So you’re using two completely different scenarios in a comparison and think MY logic is flawed? JFC…

          Wow. You really can only see in extremes, that’s fascinating. Or you’re a bad troll.

          I was extrapolating on your logic to point out its limits. That’s a pretty basic thing.

          Go find other people to fight online, this is getting pathetic.
