[Foundation-l] Facebook Group re pornography on Wikipedia

[M. Williamson]

Yes, and some people don't like the fact that we tell the truth about, say,
the Taiwan situation (or at least we try our very best to), or the
Tienanmen Square protests of 1989.

I think it's very stupid to equate "people don't like this" to "this is a
problem".

So yes, the situation is still unchanged, but in my opinion it is a GOOD
thing that it's still unchanged. The advertising situation on Wikipedia is
"still unchanged", but unchanged situations don't have to be bad, and in
this case I am a firm believer that the status quo is far better than what
this woman (and many image filter proposals) is proposing.
