Russia Clones Wikipedia, Censors It, Bans Original
www.404media.co
Ruviki is intended to be a more “trustworthy” source of information for Russians by editing out anything that makes the Russian government look bad.

What the hell?

Edit - Quoting @Allero@lemmy.today

Wikipedia is not currently banned in Russia. But the Russian branch of Wikimedia as an organization is. Also, pretty much nobody in Russia uses Ruwiki, everyone keeps using Wikipedia.

That’s all not to say it isn’t a troubling development, though. But Russians are more likely to access Wikipedia through VPN than to rely on Ruwiki. The game’s not lost.

      However, now that Trump was elected president, the establishment is trying to publicly align itself with Trump while marginalizing those who truly support Trump’s agenda. One can see this in the fact that President Trump appointed many liberals and globalists – such as Gary Cohn, H.R. McMaster, and Jared Kushner

      That’s right, Trump’s own son in law is not MAGA enough.

        President Trump appointed many liberals and globalists – such as . . . Jared Kushner

        That’s right, Trump’s own son in law is not MAGA enough.

        It’s not that he’s not MAGA enough, it’s the “Kushner” part. You have to remember, “globalist” is just the word they use for “Jew” to seem marginally more appealing to the average fuckwit.
