Hi,
thanks very much for your e-mail.
But, it's not the block, that I'm concerned about.
It's the censorship from a company.
I don't think Wikipedia, should allow censorship.
(And also the bullying, from Wikipedia-users.
I think it should be possible to report bullying, on Wikipedia.).
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

The info-en team of volunteers does not intervene in situations where users
have been blocked from editing. If you believe that you have been blocked
unfairly or inadvertently, the best course of action is to contact the
Wikipedia administrator who issued the block.
If you cannot reach the administrator who issued the block or, after
contacting them, were unable to have your concerns resolved to your
satisfaction, you may appeal the block using our community-based procedure.
Instructions for doing so are available here:
