When AT&T announced that it was going to block FaceTime, Apple’s video chat application, we pointed out that this was a violation of the FCC’s Open Internet rules, and that AT&T’s attempted defenses fell short.

Deux contributeurs respectés de l’encyclopédie libre Wikipédia sont sous le feu des projecteurs. CNet rapporte qu’un responsable de l’association Wikimedia britannique, Roger Bamkin, est soupçonné de conflit d’intérêts, après avoir mis en avant des articles liés à Gibraltar en août, par le bloc “Le saviez-vous ?” en page d’accueil et le projet culturel GLAM. Gibraltar était le second sujet le plus mentionné dans ce bloc en août, après les Jeux olympiques. Des suspicions sont rapidement apparues.
