China bans Wikipedia in all languages | IOL News

The community-edited online encyclopedia was barred in April, according to a new report from the censorship research group, the Open Observatory of Network Interference.

Launched in 2012, Open Observatory "studies the Internet" by running experiments on various networks "to understand where and how information controls are being implemented around the world," said Arturo Filastò, a project lead with the group. OONI relies on a mobile app used by tens of thousands of volunteers who document cases of internet censorship or other kinds of internet interference. All the findings are published in open data sets.

The platform was English only when it launched in 2001, according to its Wikipedia entry, but now features articles in more than 300 languages. The English edition represents less than 15% of the site's more than 40 million articles.
