Alright
Show me the exact article that is propaganda, and why
Obviously you’ll have to add citations on your end to show why exactly it would be propaganda and oh yeah,there is the issue
Wikipedia isn’t bad because it’s propaganda, Wikipedia is bad because it’s not propaganda
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.
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.
Then move the foundation to the EU and tell him to pound sand
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.
The tricky bit is that Wikipedia is a “living” document, constantly being updated and refined by a huge community of dedicated editors, and you can’t download the community and pop up a new one overnight. AI isn’t that good yet.
Then you just move the domain to one of their many subsidiaries abroad. The Community will be smart enough to access another Wikipedia tld
Assuming that there’s just one single new site that pops up that everyone agrees to go to en masse, and that it has enough resources to handle the load, and that its administration is aligned with the same goals as the original.
It could happen, but it’s by no means as simple and easy as cloning a repository.
They’d still use the top level domain, just change the physical server location and point there. Canada, maybe.
You’re still making the assumption that “they” are the same people. That’s the point here, Wikipedia-the-organization is being threatened.
Problem with that is the domain is registered in the US. And the FBI has a history of claiming domains whose content the US government wants offline.
What are you talking about?
You can just change to a registrar that is out of the country. Like. Really. Not that hard. This is a normal thing people do.
Any source of factual information to the public is a threat to an authoritarian regime
Fascist pig
I donate to them about once a year, but this is a good excuse to donate again.
Go ahead, may they move somewhere else as fast as possible. As soon as we remove useful services from their grasp the better.
They should just reincorporate elsewhere.
AFAIK other language Wikipedias already are incorporated “elsewhere” (the world¹).
¹ there actually is one outside the US
