US attorney for DC accuses Wikipedia of ‘propaganda’, threatens non-profit status
Ed Martin accused Wikipedia of allowing foreign actors to manipulate information.
Facts and truth are now propaganda....smells like FASCISM.
And of course, this is all about people pushing zionist land theft. If they arent busy beating students, buying politicians, and threatening universities, they are trying to literally rewrite history and limit everyones access to information they dont agree with. And they somehow think there will never be any blowback for any of this behavior. They really do literally think we are all sheep.
Blowback really? Any day now right?
Americans are the most pacified if not apathic bunch of harmless sheep.
All talk all the time about their freedoms and how they 'the people' will stand up for it or some more cringe BS.
And they do shit.
A bunch of pathetic slaves resigning in their fate.
They can vent their little frustrations online in bold 'revolutionary' statements, change their avatar to something and maybe not shop at this one store for one day. They are on the barricades! Oh and there' was this guy on here recently proudly announcing he is going to put up stickers.None of what happens there now or before, under whatever president could happen in Europe or anywhere else.
There would be blood on the streets.Are you forgetting about Germany?
Some of the contentions in Martin’s letter echoed a report published in March by the Anti-Defamation League, a leading Jewish civil rights organisation, alleging “widespread anti-semitic and anti-Israel bias on Wikipedia”.
What a fucking surprise 🙄 Facts are antisemitic now.
Anti-Israel, anti-fascist, anti-apartheid, pro-Palestine != anti-semitic.
The ADL can go fuck themselves for propagating otherwise.
No surprise there - Republicans have hated Wikipedia pretty much from the start, since they require valid attribution and constantly fact check, which means the Republicans can't spin their lies.
Fortunately whatever happens, wiki is downloaded all over the world. If they try to “regulate” or shut it down, it will just pop up abroad.
You cannot suppress open source info.
Wikipedia is indeed propaganda.
It can and is being manipulated, this has been proven plenty times.
And people often link to it as their source.
It has zero credibility.
It's good for looking up flowers, food or whatever.
Anything remotely political is tainted.It’s good for looking up flowers, food or whatever..
So whatever is not remotely political?
K
Then move the foundation to the EU and tell him to pound sand
Hopefully sites like Wikipedia and Internet Archive already have backup sites not located in the US.
You can download the entire thing. Anyone can. I have a copy from earlier this year.
Use Kiwix if you want to use it offline.
would it be better to find a torrent so I can share to others who need it?
Any source of factual information to the public is a threat to an authoritarian regime
Fascist pig
Go ahead, may they move somewhere else as fast as possible. As soon as we remove useful services from their grasp the better.
I donate to them about once a year, but this is a good excuse to donate again.
They should just reincorporate elsewhere.
AFAIK other language Wikipedias already are incorporated "elsewhere" (the world¹).
¹ there actually is one outside the US
