The Wikimedia Foundation says it will likely roll out features previously used to protect editors in authoritarian countries more widely.

    When Republicans talked about the dangers of immigrants destroying society they were actually talking about Musk.

    Threat level for Wikipedia editors has gone up significantly. Just another sign of a dying democracy.

        Give it another decade. We’ll be praying 24/7/365 for a return of the democracy we had. And I’m not exaggerating.

    Our own government is now our enemy.

    This all could have easily been avoided by rubbing some brain cells together. Apparently a terrifying number of Americans are incapable of doing so.

      Right but… eventually Republicans would win and we’d be here regardless. That’s the worst part of it all.

      I think him winning the first time screwed us all.

    I think Wikipedia is a could we to judge a country. As soon as the government tries to fuck with Wikipedia they are 100% assholes and anyone who is not also an asshole should not support/vote for them.

    Wikipedia & Internet Archive should definitely move their legal bodies to EU.
