Tis fine but I like the below options better.

This would be my preferred tweet from @Wikimedia, LGTM

right to speak, create and share freely: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/22/victory-in-italy-based-on-freedom-of-u...
This is a bit stronger but I like it because of that, it would be my
preferred tweet from @Wikipedia. Should we add The at the start?

Me too, and I don't think we should use "defamation" here, first because the tweet would leave it unclear who should have defamed whom, and second because the post does not focus on whether the alleged defamation actually took place. Rather, it focuses on free speech, so we could modify this tweet as follows:
"Wikimedia wins significant free speech lawsuit in Italy against politician:"
But I'm also fine with using one or two of the tweets below.

It's not necessary, but why not.
