'Some facts (years, dates) are probably wrong in this press release. The reason is that we can't access this information when Wikipedia is blacked out. Because of pressure from our failing competitors. We're sorry for that.'

To me this was the best part of the entire message.

I found it laughable, because of how Wikipedia's blackout is easily circumventable, and because I didn't see a single year or date.

Wrong morally, or wrong factually?

If factually, then which parts are wrong?

Joking that the dates/years were so wrong that they weren't even there.
