In recognition of recent events* may I suggest:

---
Wikipedia — Educating the World*  (*Except persons in the UK or China
about materials which are subject to censorship by secret block-lists)

I tried using proxies behind the great UK firewall to scan Wikipedia
to determine what is and isn't blocked, but it seems that the
firewalls are already overloaded and are failing a couple percent of
requests at random, so it's hard to say. Doesn't bode well if it's
already failing on a low traffic day.
