|quote=Feminist STS has long established that science’s provenance as a male domain continues to define what counts as knowledge and expertise.

However, less than ten percent of Wikipedia editors are women. |

Critics of this plan argued that this move would just result in more total censorship of Wikipedia and that access to some information was better than no information at all.

Now, new research from Harvard shows that Wales' intuition was correct—full encryption did actually result in a decrease in censorship incidents around the world.
