Hi Austin,
Thanks for letting me know. I use PGP, but there's something wrong with my

Thanks,

But won't the people in Iran or China would be able to access the Wikimedia
sites through http instead of https? And what about accessing through https
within Wikipedia Zero? Is cost-free access available through https?

Uh, I’m from a Third World country, and while I know the Internet here in the
Philippines is shitty, I don’t think the WMF can be blamed for that. I’ve been

Hi Juliet,
Your blog post states this change could affect access for some Wikimedia
traffic in certain parts of the world - which makes some alarm bells go

It's quite different whether a few dozen people have to wait

the day.
I get the impression that the WMF doesn't give a shit about those users who
