The very second website in the file they use to track recently-moved websites uses substack (now).

Meanwhile, Automattic’s response to WP Engine’s lawsuit claimed the company “failed to plausibly allege specific financial harm.”

The footer says the site is operated by Automattic.

I’m not saying the system works or rises to the level of good. I’m saying that it is much better than the Russian system. The people at least get to choose who they think they want, and which group of people will be whipped more.

where funny

I don’t get what you mean by Harris being more racist and sexist, but I agree that the campaign failed to change perception of failure despite how much they succeeded.

Wikipedia’s entries note that such outlets aren’t much credible.

Fuck no, fuck the system.

these lemmy users who were insulting all russians in the “expulsion of russian maintainers” thread because according to them the majority back putin

I don’t think much people said that; at most that any Russian can be forced their hand by the state.

struck, thanks. It’s false advertising then.

Crucial context, the reason for the legality:

“The $1 million recipients are not chosen by chance,” Gober said Monday. “We know exactly who will be announced as the $1 million recipient today and tomorrow.”

I checked the wording and it appears it never said the choice was going to be random! Devious.

Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE if you wanna expand into psychedelia

You might wanna try out Pale Moon. It’s optimized for single-thread performance and takes up a bit less memory.

It sets an absolutely obscene precedent that a government can globally restrict information

Again, the information is still everywhere.

Even global terrible actors like Russia and China haven’t succeeded at that.

Actually, the Chinese Wikipedia used to have a systemic bias in favor of the CPC before China blocked it, after which the bias was changed.

because the entirety of Wikipedia is open source and would be mirrored in the country instantly

It’s a bit elitist to restrict information—weapons of revolution—to those who know how to find a mirror website. Why don’t you survey the Chinese nationals in-person to see if they know how to get on Wikipedia? Plus, to avoid block evasion, no mirrors would be able to edit Wikipedia.

Dude, what bad does this do? To the Indian people, to you? The information has already been plastered all over the internet, including archives of said article, which anyone may access at their will and command. You want billions of Indian peoples to suffer and be deprived of intellectual revolution for what, grinding a utopic axe? Ceasing operations in India would do way more damage to Wikipedia’s goal.

But the information is already available archived elsewhere? Don’t you think the people of India deserve to be educated?

Could you at least give me some keywords to search?

Firstly, Wikimedia does have many usergroup organizations (i.e. subchapters) in India. And even without that, my point is that Wikipedia can’t shut down in India.

could you link to examples of the past?

Information is the power behind revolutions and popular democracy. I’d be surprised if the WMF didn’t check a web archive before taking down the article. The court case was already all over worldwide news before that anyways. If they took the article down from archives, that’d be a different story.

India isn’t capable of enforcing fines against an organization that doesn’t operate in their country

You serve a website in that country, you operate in that country. What say you about the GDPR?
