Wikipedia made a Constitution

The power of Wikipedia has showed itself again. In this Swedish article from the paper Ny Teknik they refere to Wikipedia "If 100 000 people can make an encyclopedia, why not make a constitution too". That was the thought of two internet-entrepreneurs in Morocco. They made a page during the night after the king's speach and got such a huge respond and comments that the king, Mohammed VI,  listened.
The statistics (in english) shows the respond. This is really wiki-love

Wikipedia Italy is on streik

From yesterday the italian Wikipedia started a strike (link works during the sreik)  for the freedom of information after the italian Parliament is debating a law that will force evry page on the internet to change facts about people if the person do not like it. The paragraph 29, explained in english and swedish on that link, do not make a third part jury controll if the fact is true or not, you are just forced to erase it and put the persons version instead.

This sounds like a law that suits everyone that have some kind of problems with the law, but do not want their 'mistakes' to be public. If it also is implemented on the newspapers Berlusconi will have a new powerful weapon to fight all the rumors about him.

This is a dangerous step towards controlling facts. The winner of a war uses to write the history, but with the internet even the loosers history have a chance to be seen and heard so that others can make their own oppinion on who was right and who was wrong. The fondation of wikipedia is freedom of speach freedom of facts. Therefor I support the italian Wikipedia in their fight against the paragraph 29
