Wikipedia under threat: State Duma discusses possibility of blocking online encyclopedia due to distortion of facts

The Committee on Family Protection considers it necessary to restrict access to the resource

The head of the State Duma Committee on Family Protection, Nina Ostanina, proposed blocking Wikipedia due to the distortion of historical facts.

She announced this on May 14 at a meeting of the working group on media security for minors under the State Duma Committee.

Ostanina noted that Wikipedia lacks an age rating system and contains distortions of historical truth. In her opinion, this justifies discussing the issue of blocking the online encyclopedia as an information resource.
