Unlike other dicktatorships, the Wikiproletariat censors only the stuff they don't like.

Q: Did you have to make any promises?

No, we don’t have any written contract with the Chinese government, we won’t take part in censorship. Access to information is a fundamental human right. Google said they would do business in China and cooperate regarding censorship, but they want to have a positive influence on the local environment. Which is not the worse solution, but for us would be an unacceptable scenario.

Q: Have you ever received an offer to sell Wikipedia?

No, at least no serious offer.
