Delhi High Court threatens to block Wikipedia: What’s behind the controversy?

The court’s warning came during a hearing on a defamation case filed by ANI against Wikipedia around edits made to the Wikipedia page which referred to the news agency as a "propaganda tool" for the Indian government. Justice Navin Chawla expressed frustration over Wikipedia’s alleged non-compliance with a previous court order. ANI has accused Wikipedia of failing to reveal the identities of editors responsible for these controversial changes.
