I would be surprised (and perplexed) if this is the case. At least in apps,
both reading and editing are done via API requests, which are in turn
performed over https. The carrier would have no way of knowing what packets
are "editing" vs. "reading".

Hi,
Is Wikipedia Zero only for reading, or for editing, too?
I noticed this Twitter conversation today:
https://twitter.com/thornet/status/594837690778034176
It says that it's only for reading.
If it's true, is there a reason for this?
I don't know about images and videos, but I imagine that the costs for
editing traffic would be negligible to the carriers and it will create a
lot of, um, good karma for everybody.
