If Wikipedia edits can cause civil unrest in your country, there are fundamental problems with your country.

Back in the day, my internet connection was so Comcastic that I couldn't watch a video on youtube, either. I'd have to cache it with youtube-dl and watch it the next day, or whenever it finished. It was weird the first time I tried to watch a video on the web page and it actually played.

I think this is a case of a word having one colloquial meaning and a different technical meaning. If you "lift" something, you're probably picking it up.
In a hydrodynamic sense, "lift" is a force on a foil moving through a fluid. This kind of lift is a force orthogonal to the direction of motion through the fluid and the surface of the foil. That could be upward lift, like that on the wings of an aircraft. That could also be the forward and leeward lift on the sail of a sailboat, or the windward lift on the sailboat's keel. It could also be the lateral, stabilizing lift on the control surfaces of a rocket.

This feels very much like a proactive, defensive decision. Did they recently end up on the receiving end of some legal action?
