Russia Civil War?

Reply in thread

A change in leadership/government doesn't mean Russia will cease to exist.
But it's a very interesting question. Here's the UN article on elegible members:

(note the: "Membership in the United Nations is open to all other peace-loving states")

It would be difficult as Russia has Veto power, but it can be temporarily suspended if they are under "deliberation by the security council". This article explains how it might be possible:

The consequences of an expulsion would be worth considering as well!

Wikimedia Foundation calls on US Supreme Court to strike laws that threaten Wikipedia

Can you expand on why you think they are that? I'm dumb and not understanding.

"prohibit website operators from banning users or removing speech and content based on the viewpoints and opinions of the users in question"
That sounds like subjective and obviously biased opinions, which obviously should be removed?

I'd really like to understand why you think Wikipedia should fuck off. It might be subpar, but there still exist dictionaries, journalism and a lot of other places on the internet than Wikipedia.

As I recall, Wikipedia is not an accepted source in academia, but it's fantastic for everyday use.

Hey guys, this time I really messed up :/

I think it just becomes a habit to use public libraries as a developer, that licences is not something you give a lot of thought after a while. And then your project blows up and a developer asks for an attribution. Which you gave, and was accepted! I don't understand the drama! It feels like it was settled very amenable and friendly!
