Wikipedia Blocks Edits by Church of Scientology

Scientology may believe that they can achieve control of time and space, but they are being denied control over Wikipedia entries. Wikipedia has blocked edits from Scientology computers due to a history of what it says are deceptive and abusive edits. They also banned individual Scientologists.

Scientology has always been very active on the Internet in monitoring and sometimes suing sites. The move, however, is unlikely to stop a campaign by the Church to tailor stories and entries. As many of us have learned in trying to reduce trolls, abusive contributors simply adopt new IP addresses and continue their submissions.

Notably, this is the fourth Wikipedia arbitration case concerning Scientology in recent years.

In the meantime, the Church stands at risk of a ban from France in the latest allegation of fraud and cult activities by European countries.
