involves content management, revenue (no money exchanges hands), or
anything
I am from Saudi Arabia, so I guess I will be able to explain a few
issues.

example of a pretty much totalitarian state, with many governmental
agencies and institutions, the core of which, say the interior and
media ministries, play

I'm curious: the list of censored topics in KSA (on Wikipedia) seems to be
entirely sexual content. Certainly, the KSA censor that, but do they censor

Hello,
This announcement is worrying, to say the least.
In other words, the Wikimedia Foundation is doing a partnership with
one of the most retrograde government, which is also a regular censor
