Thread:Comments:Russia threatens Wikipedia with 4 million ruble fine for coverage of war in Ukraine/An effort to make the truth a crime

It's when a free knowledge project where anybody can contribute to a neutral point of view with protection against vandalism and lies, is fined for letting people work out what actual fact is based on principles specifically agreed upon by the community and is almost completely editable, that it is clear what the government wants people to think is completely and utterly baseless propaganda. If Russia does this they are painting a very clear picture that they want to criminalise truth-seeking. Yes, there may be liberal bias, but clear facts like whether or not a country is at war aren't opinions, but blatant fact.
