They can try... Wikipedia has been bolstering themselves against this exact kind of attack for many years. They've made the entirety of the site completely downloadable for literally anyone to make and keep a copy and lots of people do (though the more the better).
The Wikimedia corporation that runs the actual site may have to ensure that it's incorporated in a different country though.
I have an offline copy with no pictures from like February.
But if Wikipedia is ever shut down then there goes the best resource for recording human society and history
If they cant manage to shut down TPB 🏴☠️, they sure as shit sint gonna be able to shut down Wikipedia.
