I'm curious: the list of censored topics in KSA (on Wikipedia) seems to be entirely sexual content. Certainly, the KSA censor that, but do they censor any articles that are political or similar topics? Forgive if I've misread the list!

Hi Yann
It's not a partnership with the government, it's with a telecom company
Theo, Saudi Telecom was wholly owned by the Saudi government when it was founded in 1998. It held monopolies then.
After a partial privatisation in the early 2000s, STC remains 70% owned by the Saudi government, with the remainder owned by "domestic investors (16.4%), the Public Pension Fund (6.6%) and the General Organisation for Social Insurance (7.0%)".[1]
To say that it's not partnership with the Saudi government is a little misleading. I am not saying there is anything wrong with it, but surely you can understand that there is interest in what exactly the terms of this partnership are.
