Re: [Wikimedia ZA] Wikimania etc.

With regard to my deregistration today, I have refuted the allegations that I attended and disrupted the Tunis Conference, was never there, also was not admitted to the Decolonising the Internet preconference. Not sure which is more pathetic an invitation-only, secret "Decolonising the Internet Conference" or a Wikimania Event held in Cape Town South Africa, that can't find a space for a session on apartheid memory? Yes, you read that right, apartheid, the thing that our country is famous for, the problem of lack of digital assets of banned publications like Grassroots, South Press and New Nation. Editors were detained and tortured, people were forceably disappeared, and you want me to accept the allegation that I am hurting the organisers and delegates feelings by raising this question outside the event? Why am I on the outside, because that's where I belong. #Wikimania #WikiRacism #WikiApartheid #WikiDeletions Placing a person under discursive sanctions, clamping down on press freedom and barring me from a Wikipedia Conference is never the correct response to the questions: What about Apartheid Deletions? What about Apartheid Memory? What about lack of digital assets for the anti-apartheid movement on Wikipedia @*jimmy_wales* <https://twitter.com/jimmy_wales> I am personally complaining and holding responsible for my de-registration & lack of apartheid memory session at @*Wikimania* <https://twitter.com/Wikimania>. Absolutely appalling organisers treat anti-apartheid activists with same contempt as apartheid state This is where I start placarding and reaching out to other banned individuals I think we need to educate people on what is occurring here, build our own wikipedias, and do as much as possible to disrupt the Wikimedia Foundation and its Collaboration with the Alt-Right Apartheid State https://etherpad.net/p/Wikimania_Censorship On 20 July 2018 at 15:59, Michael Graaf &lt;graaf.michael(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: -- *David Robert Lewis* *PO BOX 4398* *Cape Town* *8000* *South Africa* *Mobile 082 425 1454* *Home 021 788 3119* *Fax **0862396815* *Skype david.robert.lewis*
