Oh, this is going to have the Foundation in a tussle for the next week or two.

Hey, I didn't know Squeak was a pedo?

Yet another hit for "Wikipedia is NOT censored." Well, yes it is, but only crappily and patchily.

To put it more correctly: it isn't censored as well as its CEO claims to the media, but it is more censored than its official policy page states. rolleyes.gif

It's rare that you get official hypocrisy simultaneously, in both directions. Hey, it's Wikipedia. If anybody can be dishonest in two different ways on the same subject, it's them.
