Within a couple of weeks Italian taxpayers must submit their reports, with the option of sending 5‰ of their taxes to an organisation of choice.

And Wikipedia targets exactly Italian users with this issue and not, say, French, German or Finnish. Certainly a coincidence.

My point exactly. Good advertisers know how to pick their targets.

Now it all comes full circle. From https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-44712475 : "The proposed rules would have put more responsibility on websites to check for copyright infringements". Good thing we defeated the bad guys (who were trying to protect copyright, shame on them!) and support the good guys (who want our money).
