| Hideously inaccurate summary
The summary is wrong.
The six ISPs are directing all traffic to Wikipedia to pass through their special proxy servers and apply a secret blacklist.
The effect of this is that vandals and non-vandals appear to be editing Wikipedia from the same IP address. Everyone gets blocked from editing. There is no restriction on viewing except that applied by the proxies. They block the virgin killer article, and the album artwork image page. No other blocked pages have been discovered yet.
Around 60 ISPs are publicly listed on the IWF site as being involved with them. |
