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.
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.
The heritage foundation are
treating closely to looking and acting liketerrorists.
Sounds like we should develop plans to identify and target the heritage foundation.
Wikipedia is probably the only thing that has survived rounds and rounds of enshitification. Of course they want to destroy it. The fucks are psychopathic, and seriously, if Wikipedia caves I will probably be radicalized.
THIS is the line for you? In spite of everything else?
Not everyone wants to feel like they need to take violent extremist action to fight back against them. What actions have you taken to fight back?
Maybe it's finally time for me to donate to Wikipedia for the first time.
F the Heritage foundation. Just another conservative propaganda machine that twists objective fact to support conclusions or starts with conclusions and eliminates contrary data or nuance until they get what they want.
This is just more Y’all Qaeda sharia law trying to create their own alternative facts and control the narrative.
Attack information. Don't allow the unwashed masses access to data. Don't allow them to think.
If you want to download all of Wikipedia just in case
They publish their own database dumps here:

This is why it pisses me off wikipedia makes it impossible to edit using most VPNs or TOR.
Like I understand there is a spam problem, but lots of people don’t feel safe (or straight up can’t) edit using their normal IP.
What solution would you propose? I assume the main problem is that it supposedly limits Wikipedia's ability to ban people that would otherwise just make another account? Maybe they could limit VPN editing to accounts with 500 edits or whatever.
In any case now seems like a great time to prod them to reconsider this policy.
I would propose you be allowed to create a new account using a VPN or TOR, and to prevent abuse, your first 5 edits are vetted before they are accepted and only after 5 accepted edits you get the privileges of a normal wikipedia account.(current policy is that everyone has editing priviledges without vetting, but VPN and TOR IP’s are blocked).
Also I think it’s ridiculous that an already established account can get banned from wikipedia if they did nothing wrong except make a wikipedia edit using TOR.
The main problem with TOR on wikipedia before it was banned was that people would make vandalism bots that created immense spam and avoided being IP blocked by using TOR. IMO the “pending edits” function would make an account like that basically a non-problem.
It's like George Orwell was a prophet.
What are the names and addresses of the people who are saying they're going to do that?
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.
