What’s that, evidence of intent to commit terrorism?
Pretty sure just saying it is terrorism.
Try saying youll “doxx and target” UHC C suite and see how that goes. Theyll shove you in the same spot as luigi and name a hotline after you
This could be done in literally like 50 minutes.
There’s a Luigi hotline?
I meant the hotline they tried to hurry in for CEOs to call after what Luigi did. Because apparently thats ehat society’a funds should focus on.
So there’s a CEO hotline now?
It’s ideal for when you want to have hot, steamy conversations about all your deepest, darkest desires. Like popping CEOs, overthrowing the oligarchy, and making enough money to afford all your basic human needs.
But I’m Trump’s America, that’s OK, as long as you’re a Nazi.
Bring out your punchin’ fists. It’s time for a good ol’ fashioned fash bash.
The only good nazi is a dead nazi.
The slideshow says the group’s “targeting methodologies” would include creating fake Wikipedia user accounts to try to trick editors into identifying themselves by sharing personal information or clicking on malicious tracking links that can identify people who click on them. It is unclear whether this has begun.
What a bunch of complete dipshits. That being said, there are ways to request yourself to be allowed to use a VPN when editing if these fascist threats intimidate you.
You could also use split tunneling on your VPN and only whitelist Wikipedia. But it’s absolutely ridiculous that Wikipedia editors have to worry about opsec in the first place
Can’t have anybody spreading the truth now, can we?
Reality is just a liberal conspiracy!
Reality is a scam made up by Big Philosophy to sell more philosophy.
Perhaps the ‘heritage foundation’ needs some of it’s own medicine. These people are domestic terrorists who are traitors to their country.
We need another brave group like that furry hacker group that pissed them off so much that they flew off the handle. Except I vote the group that does it doesn’t make the same mistake as the last one by contacting them afterwards.
I mean… What’s stopping us, random Lemmy users, from making SiegedSec 2.0? If you want something done right, do it yourself.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I wouldn’t have a clue what to do. I’ve never done actual hacking before outside of once in a learning lab on a virtual machine where I sent a social engineered email to a controlled email address. But that’s not really hacking, let alone gonna be any use to a SiegedSec 2.0, now is it?
First I’ve heard about that. Do you have a link for more details?
https://cyberscoop.com/hackvists-release-two-gigabytes-of-heritage-foundation-data/
I only remember it because I saw it plenty of times being posted here when it was first happening, though K don’t know what sources everyone else linked.
Maybe just dox Heritage Foundation members right back …
You can just go to their website. They aren’t hiding.
But they’re also the friends and scions of the mega-wealthy, put in these positions specifically to fuck with the lower classes. If they’re feeling a bit of impunity right now, you can hardly blame them.
I would think Luigi Mangione and what he represents might make them nervous.
I think what he did was exciting. But what he represents?
He took the School Shooter mentality to Wall Street.
It’s not school children ruining our lives, so maybe I’ll just shrug then offer thoughts and prayers if it starts happening regularly.
It’s not school children ruining our lives
It isn’t a single fungible CEOs, either. The problem is systemic, not individualistic.
Shooting a bunch of Sandy Hook middle schoolers is definitely more horrifying. But the consequences of the action are more of the same.
More cops, more surveillance, more conspiracy theories, more terror.
if it starts happening regularly
It will never happen regularly enough to undermine the profit motive. Not if it’s just random Lone Wolf vigilantes who binge watched Demolition Ranch videos and got delusions of grandeur.
What I meant is that he represents a physically dangerous reaction to the kind of oppressive policies they and their ilk support. Right or wrong, people are losing patience with the billionaires and their lickspittles. Maybe the Heritage Foundation with their culture war BS won’t be so much of a target, but the economic interests they represent are obviously no longer able to imagine that they can get away with their thievery without some possibility of a violent reaction.
I don’t think they’re targeting the board or the ex3acs. They’ll target the volunteers who do the actual editing.
In case anyone doesn’t know, you can download all of Wikipedia of you have 120GB of space. You can download a whole bunch of wikis straight off Kiwix.
I refuse to let the fascists control knowledge

Wikipedia isn’t just useful as a repository of information. Its useful because editors are constantly adding and refining the information within. Downloading a singular instance of the site is like owning an Encyclopedia. Diminished utility year-by-year.
True, but it depends who’s going the refining. If they start censoring or changing facts, then the static instance on your hard drive has huge value.
Fortunately they don’t on Wikipedia
Or you can always grab a torrent: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dump_torrents
Also make sure to seed, preferably on a dedicated machine with an unmetered connection and high bandwidth.
Is that just the English version or all languages?
It would be a real shame if our furry overlords or some other group retaliated against the heritage foundation
Our furry overlords are not enough, we need a team of Luigis.
What about
He become too powerful
Found the furry!
This is Lemmy… that’s not at all difficult. This platform is mostly furries, communists, and Linux users… as well as the mythical furry communist Linux user.
mythical? isn’t the venn diagram of those categories almost a clean circle?
We need anonymous back
Indeed, +1!
Ai dump but you get the picture
Anonymous has been able to accomplish a variety of things, including:
-
Supporting the Arab Spring: Anonymous hacked into government websites and took them offline in Egypt and Syria. They also distributed anonymising software for protesters and helped share videos of the uprising in Tunisia.
-
Fighting child pornography: Anonymous has exposed enterprises that provided a platform for child pornography and helped in the arrest of Internet predators.
-
Protesting against Scientology: Anonymous launched an online offensive against the Church of Scientology, including phone, fax and e-mail spamming, and DDoS attacks.
-
Taking down government websites: Anonymous has taken down government websites in response to a variety of issues, including stringent LGBT laws, imageboard censorship, and government oppression.
-
Exposing corruption: Anonymous has published usernames in relation to nefarious activities and outed the owners and operators of Freedom Hosting for their support for child pornography.
These are just a few examples of the many things that Anonymous has been able to accomplish. While their methods are sometimes controversial, there is no doubt that they have had a significant impact on the world.
Downvoted for vague and unsubstantiated claims. Also, is point 5 the same as point 2?
Instead of dumping AI output, consider giving 1 concrete example of something Anonymous did and what effect it had.
Edit: and I just noticed you responded to the wrong comment. Good effort, champ.
Look it up yourself AI hater.
I know you won’t so here you go. Btw you can just ask Gemini for links to it’s info noob

Every one of these was singing worrisome they did which had effects.
As somebody who was trying to find info on Scientology from back in the BBS pre Internet days they were very helpful.

Firstly it has to be somewhere other than 4chan, but anonymity is a must…
Why, did they actually accomplish anything?
Sounds like a terrorist threat to me. Unfortunately, our next administration is in bed with the terrorists.
Doxing is a terrorist threat…?
Edit: Downvote me if you want, but I legitimately don’t understand. Is there a joke im missing…?
Yes, it’s a terrorist threat. The point of the threat is to scare Wikipedia editors away from editing the site so they can fill it with their propoganda.
I vaguely remember republicans calling folks terrorists that doxed people for pushing nazi propaganda. Everyone was clowning on them then.
When someone is dangerous, like one who spouts Nazi propoganda, I can see a reason for them to be doxxed. But that’s not the case here. China wants to send the reds after the people who write factual information on Wikipedia pages they don’t like.
If they do that, Wikipedia is going to die because nobody wants to be assaulted for a volunteer gig.
In June, a panel of Wikipedia editors declared the Anti-Defamation League a “generally unreliable” source of information about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
And there was an outcry this fall among some Jewish scholars and pro-Israel activists over edits to Wikipedia’s entry for Zionism to add references to “colonization.”
So basically the usual zionist hostility towards logical conclusions based on mountains of credible evidence. Except taken to 11.
roadmap for fighting antisemitism and anti-Zionism
Extremely unfun fact: Zionism and the aggressively counterfactual defense of it is the number one cause of ACTUAL antisemitism in the world.
Some people who have never been bigoted before start at justified outrage at the atrocities committed by the fascist apartheid regime in charge of Israel and go down rabbit holes conflating Israel and all Jewish people, leading to some of the most disgusting conspiracy theories in existence.
Militant zionism is also great at creating terrorists
Absolutely!
All kinds of violent suppression is, but the sheer scale, audacity and inhumanity as well as the complicity of most of the richest and most powerful countries in the world makes for an especially potent recipe for the kind of trauma and feelings of helplessness that leads to the extreme radicalization of oppressed people
I have found myself wondering if Israel’s actions are causing Hamas to grow faster than they can kill its members. Where’s the saying come from, “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter”? Were my family and friends being killed just for existing, with the sole excuse being that there might possibly have been terrorists in the area maybe, I can’t say I’d be content to sit idly by to watch others suffer the same. And I suspect I’m not alone in that.
It absolutely is creating more terrorists than they kill members of Hamas.
But, also, Hamas is the government. Being Hamas doesn’t mean you’re military. There’s loads of people who work for Hamas that are not terrorists, just like there’s loads of people working for the US government who are not terrorists. Hamas includes social workers, doctors, sanitation workers, etc
Both through direct recruitment and by radicalizing their enemies.
Expect the accusations of antisemitism to extend to pedophilia, anti-white racism, and communism soon.
You mean like they haven’t already? I’ve been hearing it for at least a few years now unfortunately.
Counterpoint. It’s the latest entry point to indoctrinate new bigots and the millionth scapegoating.
The entire US conservative establishment is waging a holy crusade against anyone who opposes their Israeli alter ego’s Biblical bloodlettings. You’d think they had no problems to handle at home.
Thank you to the Heritage Foundation for reminding me to donate to Wikimedia, almost forgot to do it.
basically the same thing they did to abortion doctors like dr tiller.
Can you smell the freedom?
Heritage Foundation plans to doxx and target Wikipedia editors in service to Zionism
Kinda burying the lead with that headline.
Made a note to donate on payday.
I always give to Wikipedia. I’m poor as shit, but anytime I see that banner they gonna get some money.
NOTHING has been as useful for me in the last 20 years. I have learned so much I’ve forgotten over half of it.
I’m a hillbilly who has no education past around the 5th grade. It has been invaluable to me. I wouldn’t be who I am without it. Honestly without the internet as a whole, but especially Wikipedia.
I have learned so much I’ve forgotten over half of it.
The crux is, i have learned it, told myself “Oh yeah, that’s on Wikipedia” and only remember where to find what information. I’m utterly useless without Wikipedia, as many family quiz losses around Christmas turned out… Hell, even sources i use for discussions on the internet i get often from Wikipedia articles, they sometimes link the actual studies…my google foo is pretty good, but some things i’m simply unable to find, except in the Wikipedia source lists…
I feel like that thing has now become too large to be considered a “banner.” Its approaching AIDS quilt dimensions.
I’m not donating this time, but only because I just made a big donation in response to Elmo talking shit about Wikipedia.
