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.
