Quasi troppo grossa per sembrare vera..
\nLa IWF (Internet Watch Foundation) ha blacklistato una pagina di en.wiki bloccando di fatto l’accesso ad essa a circa il 95% dei navigatori britannici, perch\u00c3\u00a9 la blacklist viene adottata “automaticamente” da quasi tutti gli ISP del Regno Unito. Effetto collaterale del blocco \u00c3\u00a8 l’impossibilit\u00c3\u00a0 di editare su pedia:<\/p>\n
\nNormally, the IWF blacklist would have the effect of making it impossible for UK internet users to view the page in question. However, in the case of Wikipedia, the block has had the additional -and extremely damaging- side effect of disenfranchising UK-based Wikipedia editors, by making it impossible for them to edit the encyclopedia. Here’s how that happened: Once Wikipedia was added to the IWF blacklist, access to Wikipedia through participating UK-based ISPs began being routed through a transparent proxy server, which means that different internet users in the UK could then no longer be distinguished from each other by IP address. (They all appear, to a site like Wikipedia, to be the same person.) As a consequence of all UK visitors now appearing indistinguishable to Wikipedia, Wikipedia’s protective mechanisms against abusive editing are inevitably triggered, and all UK visitors from blacklist-affected ISPs are indiscriminately unable to edit Wikipedia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

# ISP issue: Several ISPs are using proxies that route all Wikimedia traffic through a single IP address. This makes it much more difficult for Wikipedia to administer the website, because thousands of users are all sharing the same identifier. Because of this and a small number of vandals amongst the thousands, these IP addresses are blocked from editing anonymously. This harms both the project itself and UK users’ experience of it.
\n# ISP issue: At least some of the proxying ISPs (TalkTalk, Virgin Media\/Tesco, Be\/O2\/Telefonica) do not add X-Forwarded-For headers to their HTTP requests. This effectively anonymizes all the remaining requests to Wikipedia, making it more difficult to handle any other case of illegal activity from an anonymous contributor behind the proxy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n(dalla miscellanea su en.wiki, v. oltre)<\/small><\/p>\n
Il motivo \u00c3\u00a8 molto discutibile: l’immagine dell’album Virgin Killer<\/a> degli Scorpions \u00c3\u00a8 pedopornografica perch\u00c3\u00a9 mostra una bambina nuda. L’immagine \u00c3\u00a8 del 1976 e da allora fa scalpore, ma soprattutto quella pagina \u00c3\u00a8 online almeno dal 3 luglio 2005<\/a>.<\/p>\n
In Italia la notizia per ora \u00c3\u00a8 arrivata solo su Quotidiano.net (il Resto del Carlino, Nazione, il Giorno) che probabilmente teme la censura nostrana, perch\u00c3\u00a9 riporta l’immagine pixelizzata e Download blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Qui <\/a>il comunicato stampa di WMF e le FAQ<\/a>, e un’intervista del press contact<\/a> inglese; su en.wikinews lo special report<\/a> con l’intera vicenda (mentre it.wikinews tace).<\/p>\n
@update: ci \u00c3\u00a8 arrivato anche il Corriere<\/a>, con un titolo assolutamente fuorviante (Wikipedia censura la copertina degli Scorpions), corretto dopo che ho scritto alla redazione in un pi\u00c3\u00b9 consono “Wikipedia censurata per la copertina degli Scorpions”-
\nQui<\/a> una miscellanea di informazioni su en.wiki.<\/p>\n@update: la notizia \u00c3\u00a8 appena passa in tv su TGcom.<\/p>\n
@update: Attenzione, Wikipedia \u00c3\u00a8 recidiva<\/a>! La foto di Nick Ut<\/a> ha vinto un Pulitzer ed \u00c3\u00a8 stata pubblicata dalla Associated Press.. (su segnalazione di Jollyroger) <\/p>\n
@update: nel comunicato stampa il General Counsel di Wikimedia, Mike Godwin affermava: <\/p>\n
We believe it’s worth noting that the image is currently visible on Amazon, where the album can be freely purchased by UK residents. It is available on thousands of websites that are accessible to the UK public.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
secondo il Guardian<\/a> Amazon \u00c3\u00a8 probabilmente il prossimo sito a finire in blacklist.<\/p>\n
