Cuba launches Wikipedia rival

Fed up with the capitalist lies that permeate Wikipedia, the Cuban government has set up its own alternative.

Due to launch later today, the Spanish-language ecured.cu has a slightly different take on the world to its bigger rival, and says it will "create and disseminate the knowledge of all and for all, from Cuba and with the world."

For example, the Wikipedia entry for the US begins: "The United States of America (also referred to as the United States, the US, the USA, or America) is a federal constitutional republic comprising fifty states and a federal district."

So far, so good. But Ecured gives the inside story, pointing out that it's the "empire of our time, which has historically taken by force territory and natural resources from other nations, to put at the service of its businesses and monopolies".

There a similar difference in the sites' views about the Castro brothers.
