  it’s more of a blackmail. Wikipedia could have kept the article online for everybody but they would have deprived 1,5 billion people in India of the whole Wikipedia.

  The judge on the case stated “If you don’t like India, please don’t work in India… We will ask government to block your site”.

  On 21 October, the Wikimedia Foundation suspended access to the article for Asian News International vs. Wikimedia Foundation due to an order from the court.

    i’m guessing that it must be like Xitter in Brazil. If a company is present in a country, they may require a legal representation which can be held accountable.

        I think that part of the point of Wikimedia complying with the Order. Which you can read the Order at …wikipedia.org/…/Asian_News_International_vs._Wik… . Also the page the lawsuit is actually about is still up, but frozen.
