Indonesia Threatens to Block Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons Access

I would usually side with Wikipedia, but the article says the registration process the government is asking for is free, and a from a quick google, not really invasive. It does seem to require a tax number of some sort, which could be a problem, but still, is not exactly a super unreasonable ask. The government reaction is kinda unreasonable, specially towards fucking Wikipedia of all sites, but, alas.

Side note, Jesus Christ on a bicycle, this site has a ridiculous amount of ads. Literally could not read the article at the first try, had to reload and enable reader mode before the 1937391 popups started jumping on my face.

haha, call their bluff and let them block it, see how long that actually lasts
