I would echo Risker's question: What exactly does the proposed new law say? Is it that disputed content will have to be *removed* if a request is received, and *replaced* with the BLP subject's statement? Or is it that BLP subjects have the right to ask for a correction to be posted on the page, *in addition* to the disputed content? I can read some Italian; a link to the proposed text of the new law, along with an indication of the relevant section or paragraph, would be much appreciated. Andreas

I am unclear what the "new" law says that is leading Italian-speaking Wikipedians to consider a blackout of the Italian Wikipedia.
