Wait am moment... Wikipedia Zero is an extension to Wikipedia that filters out images? And not even some of them on a totally voluntary base but all of them for everybody? I guess I better shut down my e-mail account to prevent the flood of angry mailing list posts from the censorship theoreticists...
Marcus Buck User:Slomox (To make a contribution to the issue Billinghurst raised: As I understand it, Wikipedia Zero is a offer to mobile providers who restrict web access to a select few websites to limit traffic. They only allow access to a limited set of "most popular" websites with low bandwidth requirements. The providers probably are just interested in Wikipedia and not in its less popular sister projects... It's a transitional solution anyways. In a few years even the Global South will have sweet mobile internet connectivity and everybody can enjoy Wikisource and Wikiversity on mobile with images!)
