As I wrote last week: "As other information sources fall, Wikipedia’s stubborn independence becomes more vital than ever. The attacks from [the right] aren't just about an online encyclopedia — they're part of a broader assault on any information source that refuses to be controlled."

Scoop: Heritage Foundation plans to ‘identify and target’ Wikipedia editors

The conservative think tank told prospective donors that the project was part of its work to combat antisemitism.

Donating to the Wikimedia Foundation is great. Becoming a volunteer editor is even better.

@molly0xfff It surprises me that that page doesn't talk about logging IPs through links, which is one of the more credible threats floated by Heritage in those slides. Yes, I know, SOFIXIT, but I know much more about losing anonymity than maintaining it; maybe someone else would like to add something on it though.
@molly0xfff More generally, one thing I said to Arno is that there are potential attacks that are way scarier than anything Heritage talked about. With as much power as we give to volunteers, we can never eliminate the possibility of attacks that target privileged accounts in order to unmask users. People should keep in mind the advice at https://w.wiki/Cer8: "The only 100% certain ways to avoid getting outed on Wikipedia: 1. Out yourself ... 2. Don't edit Wikipedia"
