Summary
The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, plans to use facial recognition and hacked data to identify Wikipedia editors it alleges are promoting antisemitism, according to leaked documents.
The group’s proposed tactics include fake accounts and tracking links, raising privacy concerns among Wikipedia contributors.
This effort, part of Heritage’s Project Esther, follows controversies over Wikipedia’s handling of Israel-related topics, such as labeling the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) “unreliable.”
Critics warn this campaign to target editors could violate Wikipedia’s rules and escalate tensions over bias accusations.
Anyone has an update on the ANI vs Wikimedia legal thats ongoing in India, because the heritage foundation is just throwong around a threat, that Indian judge might actually do it.
