Yes, and I as I pointed to the email written by Domas, that those logs
don't exist.

Because one is a search engine and the other is an encyclopedia. If someone
was researching ways to make explosives or looking for child pornography,
those are grounds to incriminate. Wikipedia on the other hand is an
encyclopedia. There is nothing illegal about going in to a library and
looking at a physical encyclopedia, nor should there be about Wikipedia.
