Yes information on the internet is distorted due to censorship, political
and religious suppression and intimidation, and poverty. Major holes in
coverage include Cuba and North Korea, with extremely limited access and
poverty; the People Republic of China, poverty and political intimidation;
Saudi Arabia, religious intimidation, Palestine, poverty and political and
religious intimidation; and most of Africa, India and Indonesia, poverty.
Wikipedia has revolutionary consequences but is not a revolutionary
organization.

Economics and oppression create extremely unequal access
to and creation of information on the net (and for instance Wikipedia).
