Brutto precedente. Estremamente pericoloso. Non solo si rimuove il contenuto diffamatorio, ma si riscrive la sua storia. Si cerca di cancellare la memoria invece di arricchirla di una nuova informazione (la constatazione di un tribunale che il contenuto offensivo era falso e dunque diffamatorio). https://wikimediafoundation.org/2019/04/11/a-german-court-forced-us-to-remov... Three months ago, a German court ruled that part of a Wikipedia article—found to be defamatory in a previous court decision—had to be removed from both the article and its associated revision tracker, known as a “history” page. (History pages allow anyone to see how a Wikipedia article has developed since they were created, in some cases going back all the way to 2001. We have a desktop-based tutorial on using these history pages in both English and German.) A German court ruled in September of last year that the content was in fact defamatory, largely because the source in question had been taken offline—what we call “link rot.” German volunteers quickly removed the text in question from the article but the article’s corresponding history page retained the statements. This is a common practice on Wikimedia projects. [...] Article histories are a useful tool for contributors, readers, and staff—even courts, on occasion— to see how an article has evolved over time. [...] In a case like this, deleting the article history may in fact inspire more curiosity, leading visitors to search for more information about the controversy. [...] Note that the issue in this case is distinct from the right to be forgotten. Here, the claim was that something in the article was false in the first place, that a source had made a mistake, and that the information harmed the individual’s reputation.
