It's complex, Milos.
We are not activists. Being a volunteer in Wikimedia do not torn ourselves activists.
It could be, but the option to be a volunteer in Wikipedia is just a option to share the free knowledge, not about political issues.
I totally agree to fight against censorships in Internet and in real life, I agree with that. And I fight against that. We can, as people and citizens; But Wikimedia Foundation can't, cause we can't force the volunteers to agree that visions.
We're not a political party (yet?)
