Church of Scientology banned at Wikipedia

Wiki is a great source of information, and it's been said by many that understand the way it works that u do have to take everything on it with an educated lean cos - well u don't necessarily need to put correct information on it to be right.

Banning the Scientologists tho ? Or banning any1 imo - it's a bad step banning in general imo, what I'd rather is to be more +ve in a way to combat the issues they may have.

I like Scientologists myself. Not because I believe in what they believe or do, but out of all the crazy churches and followings in this messed up world, they have a whole load of style about them. Taken too literally imo with the things they say/do, I can personally see past alot of that, but I can see what they're doing by saying/doing certain things. - alas u gotta think about it.

Bannage = the bad. Debate/counter argument = the good.

Is there another reason for it tho ?!?!

hehe

I dont believe that anyone's views, no matter how bizarre (there are some exceptions), should be censored. It is wrong. People have the human right to freedom of speech and conscience for a reason.

Scientology is barmy and disturbing, so is the theory to do with the illuminati. But these views should be allowed to be held and not censored.

Censorship only goes one way, once you pop you just can't stop, and that is the truth.

But don't forget, Wikipedia has actual owners who have the rights. If it wasn't for them then we wouldn't have it. Just be grateful that they didn't stop most people on the world from being able to edit...

It's not that Zak, it's the fact they ban one thing. That's like we discussed in the other thread, you classed Polish cheaters racist? This is the same since they're censoring one type of religion/belief. Not fair and Muslims/Indians/Christians/Jews have their views, but what if the law was to state that no Muslim religion was to be allowed. Not fair and it would hurt alot.

It's a crazy situation that the internet evolves into these days. Organizations being banned from entering sites, countries banning sites from being viewed, services that were once free appearing to not be so free, restrictions being tightened, forms of drm.

It's not the internet as I would have envisioned it years ago.

Private club or not, their arena is public, I would kick up a fuss if they banned a muslim sect or even nazi idealists. Things just don't go away and often come to a head in some fashion or another.

Besides, banning IPs and registered names aye - hmm, that's just a token really isn't it ?

at the end of it all! it is governments f'in us all the time they are greedy

they want's the precious for themselves and they wants to take its away from us

id give it another 10 years and we might see 80%-90% of the web privatised

torrents and any other type of downloads will be history

i mean by then you might even have to pay to download the latest drivers for your hardware

just like the tom-tom's etc..

its all to do with makin the internet a safer place and putting more money in fat cats wallets

I remember my brother telling me how he used to copy all his games and share them around with his mates, it was as simple as recording or something. He and his mates used to code some nooby games also LOL. Don't have any idea how this was in them days, but I'm sure it rocked lol.
