French goons shoot themselves in the foot

The French military (the Direction centrale du renseignement intérieur) forced the closure of a Wikipedia page in French  about a French military radio station.

The page was subsequently reinstated by someone in nearby Switzerland, where French is also spoken. As a result of an internet hue and cry, the "censored" page has become the most read page in French Wikipedia!

The goons who wanted to suppress information ended up spreading it far and wide! They don't seem to have decided what to do next but they clearly can't win now.

Details here.
