That's a little Orwellian, isn't it. If a "fact" is known elsewhere, but
not in your own country, you could be prosecuted for reporting it. So much
for everyone not being entitled to their own facts. An example of the
wisdom of not incorporating the WMF in the European Union, and something
that should inject caution into efforts to more closely link the WMF and
its finances to European chapters.
