[ad_1]
Deputy head of the State Duma committee on information policy Andrey Svintsov (LDPR) spoke out against the complete blocking of Wikipedia. He suggested first blocking only individual incriminating articles.
“At the first stage, perhaps, decisions will be made to block individual articles that are false and compromising our country, or political figures, or historical facts,” he said.
He indicated that he did not know if it was technically possible, but if so, “it would be useful.”
Svintsov believes that Wikipedia contains a lot of false information. However, he refers to the complete blocking “rather negatively.”
Russian senators have previously called for the creation of an alternative to Wikipedia in Russia.
