Even if it is only one click it is still the same as appending a dislike button to it (if no all or nothing option). At least it shows, that we think, that it is something disturbing. At this point it has nothing to do with curating content, it's a mere tool to represent POV.

Hoi,
When you consider that the current proposal is for a system where it takes
one click to see something anyway, I do think the notion that something is
not knowable is over the top.
Thanks,

sure that Wikipedia is not blocked in their countries.

You're describing places in terms of fundamentally rejecting the
Enlightenment. General encyclopedias, starting from l'Encyclopedie,
are an Enlightenment project. Ultimately, we can't cripple Wikipedia
for the world because some parts of it are not happy with the idea of
people being allowed to know stuff in general.
