Summary
The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, plans to use facial recognition and hacked data to identify Wikipedia editors it alleges are promoting antisemitism, according to leaked documents.
The group’s proposed tactics include fake accounts and tracking links, raising privacy concerns among Wikipedia contributors.
This effort, part of Heritage’s Project Esther, follows controversies over Wikipedia’s handling of Israel-related topics, such as labeling the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) “unreliable.”
Critics warn this campaign to target editors could violate Wikipedia’s rules and escalate tensions over bias accusations.

Attack information. Don’t allow the unwashed masses access to data. Don’t allow them to think.
Just headlines, pics and tweets.
Maybe it’s time for a Fedopedia?
Opsec is more important than ever. Gangs-talking is real.
What are the names and addresses of the people who are saying they’re going to do that?

The heritage foundation are
treating closely to looking and acting liketerrorists.
It’s like George Orwell was a prophet.
All one needs to do is play connect the dots with the bourgeoisie.
He was a (recent) historian… 1984 was modeled on the Soviet Union and nazism.
Maybe I am naive, or was too hopeful, but considering how astroturfed all platforms are by nation states and other bad actors, I only now realized Wikipedia could be extremely compromised due to their inability to withstand such attacks. The internet is over.
Fascists want to attack everything good
Awww… are the violent genocidal colonizers feeling insecure and butthurt?
Sounds like we should develop plans to identify and target the heritage foundation.
Anyone has an update on the ANI vs Wikimedia legal thats ongoing in India, because the heritage foundation is just throwong around a threat, that Indian judge might actually do it.

Totally get what you’re expressing, however, do you have a suggested alternative to mentioning rules now?
censored
Is that a joke or did you really get censored…?
Probably would say Removed by mod instead
Well it’s now a thing that some instances have rules that will automatically censor words you write and replace them with words like
redactedso I wasn’t sure if this was a case like that. Pretty sure their joke here was playing off of those instance-level rules.
I wrote the word censored
…people are still talking about rules, laws, ethics, the constitution, and everything else that USED TO matter.
That’s because they still believe in the existing institutions that were designed to uphold laws, rules, and ethics, even though those institutions are obviously failing, and have been for some time. I suppose the erosion of said institutions has occurred gradually enough that the full scope hasn’t necessarily been apparent to everyone, but it should be by now. Anyone who still believes that these institutions are sufficient for maintaining a stable liberal democracy is just delusional, at this point.

Exactly this.
Rule of law is dying, and things like this are what will kill it dead. Thinking you can put a stop to this with lawyers is for the naive or the wealthy.
It’s not just Republicans at this point… It’s the entire system. His inauguration itself will be illegal and unconstitutional since he’s ineligible to hold office after sparking insurrection. But the Democrats keep climbing over each other to make sure everyone sees how peaceful this transfer of power is.
It blows my mind that they keep doing that. Why do they think that going “see, we’re the good guys, and we’re so good that we’re going to peacefully hand over control of every branch of government to the fascists” as though the US population is going to see that a positive. It’s clear now, if it wasn’t before, that their claims of a threat to democracy was just campaign messaging for them, not a real belief. (And to be clear, the Republicans are very much a threat to what passes for democracy in the US.) The Democrats seem all too happy to be in the minority again and rake in the donations from outraged liberals who think that the old rules still apply.
Appeasement always worked out so well in the past. What could go wrong?
That felon/rapist literally won’t be in the white house for another week and a half.
Even if that’s true, do you think President Vance will be any better?
To quote Jello Biafra- “I’d rather have a dumb Nazi than a smart Nazi.”

You’re getting downvoted for pointing out that Trump is literally not in the White House. And by that I assume you meant he’s not even President.
Yup
“When you’re [rich] they just let you do it” - guess who
Burning Alexandria bcs knowledge works too much anti-oppression.
So if it’s legal for them to do it to Wikipedia, can we crowd source doing it to them?
Can’t doxx people that gladly shout this kind of stuff in public.
Consequences make them afraid. And shame works on them too, but only if it is from their kind.
In the US doxing is not illegal.
The Heritage address in Washington DC is extremely easy to look up. I would post it here, but someone would probably ban me for doing unto them what they would do unto us. Still the opportunity to get them before they get you exists.

Here ya go: 214 Massachusetts Avenue NE, Washington, D.C., U.S.- right on the Wikipedia page.
Of course, I wouldn’t advise doing anything more than a lively peaceful protest outside. But also I can’t stop you from doing something more effective.
Lemmy has practically zero moderation. People have been calling for the deaths of CEOs for weeks with no consequences.
lol
Cool people, you say?
That’s not specific actionable data. I have already been permabanned from reddit for my anti-Nazi views. Rather not risk it.
Thanks for the warning.

And then get it🥷🔫
Mostly CEOs who are actually dangerous or otherwise malicious. Im pretty sure most of Lemmy would completely skip over Gabe Newell even if he is a billionaire simply cause he is the good one and valve’s business practices have been pretty good for going on 20 years now.
He’s on the list, but I think the billionaires/millionaires will fall in line before we get to him.
Except for the csgo gambling I have no complaints about Gabe and he really does a lot of good stuff with valve, so he really might be one of the better billionaires.
