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.
Then move the foundation to the EU and tell him to pound sand
Facts and truth are now propaganda…smells like FASCISM.
Any source of factual information to the public is a threat to an authoritarian regime
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.

Been doing so for years, wouldn’t have gotten a degree without them so it’s only fair.

I went there; my first take is that it’s full of wanna be editors who were rejected or edited out.
What am I missing?
Nothing people hate on Wikipedia for all kinds of reasons. Mostly because they don’t believe in checking sources. And when information is cited it becomes woke.

The truth pretty much always is
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.
How big of a hard drive do you need to download the entire wiki site?
There are several options, like with pictures or not. I think the complete archive is about 110 GB, but see for yourself.
That’s just a thumb drive now. Worth it to preserve knowledge. I know what I’m doing later.
unzipping?
So use 2TB external or NAS to unpack. Preserve it first before these shitheads blow it up.
Taking a shit on next door’s lawn.
would it be better to find a torrent so I can share to others who need it?
Fascist pig
They should just reincorporate elsewhere.
AFAIK other language Wikipedias already are incorporated “elsewhere” (the world¹).
¹ there actually is one outside the US
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.
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.

Are you forgetting about Germany?
What about it?
Every accusation is a confession
The fucknut Martin is working for Leon Hitler.
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?
