Sounds like a terrorist threat to me. Unfortunately, our next administration is in bed with the terrorists.
Doxing is a terrorist threat…?
Edit: Downvote me if you want, but I legitimately don’t understand. Is there a joke im missing…?
Yes, it’s a terrorist threat. The point of the threat is to scare Wikipedia editors away from editing the site so they can fill it with their propoganda.
I vaguely remember republicans calling folks terrorists that doxed people for pushing nazi propaganda. Everyone was clowning on them then.
Wikipedia is not pushing nazi propaganda.
Yeah, but that’s not really what im talking about. If doxing is terrorism, then doxing is terrorism. If it isn’t then it isn’t. “Rules for thee but not for me” doesn’t really fly outside of circlejerks.
Left wing murderers aim for the rich, right wing murderers aim for the people. Show me the left wing serial killer aiming for fox news indoctrinated neonazis, and we might feel differently.
When the state executes a convicted murderer, it is not terrorism. If someone murders their spouse out of jealousy, it’s not terrorism. When a serial killer murders 10 people, it is still not usually terrorism.
But when a radical minority group wants to push their political/religious agenda and subdue, oppress the general population by randomly murdering a bunch of them - that IS terrorism.
All of the above are murders, but not all of them are terrorism.
The same is true for every other type of aggression, including doxing. They can be used for many things in many cases. They can be used as a means of oppression, or the oppressed can use them to fight back against oppression. Almost all forms of aggression can be used for the good of society (e.g. by the police against criminals, or by the revolutionists against their oppressors) and of course for bad reasons as well. It all depends on the situation.
So no, doxing does NOT equal terrorism. But it can be used as such.
When someone is dangerous, like one who spouts Nazi propoganda, I can see a reason for them to be doxxed. But that’s not the case here. China wants to send the reds after the people who write factual information on Wikipedia pages they don’t like.
If they do that, Wikipedia is going to die because nobody wants to be assaulted for a volunteer gig.
It would be a real shame if our furry overlords or some other group retaliated against the heritage foundation
Our furry overlords are not enough, we need a team of Luigis.
What about
Whoa. I didn’t know they made Luigi in a fuckable format.
He become too powerful
Found the furry!
This is Lemmy… that’s not at all difficult. This platform is mostly furries, communists, and Linux users… as well as the mythical furry communist Linux user.
mythical? isn’t the venn diagram of those categories almost a clean circle?
We need anonymous back
Indeed, +1!
Ai dump but you get the picture
Anonymous has been able to accomplish a variety of things, including:
-
Supporting the Arab Spring: Anonymous hacked into government websites and took them offline in Egypt and Syria. They also distributed anonymising software for protesters and helped share videos of the uprising in Tunisia.
-
Fighting child pornography: Anonymous has exposed enterprises that provided a platform for child pornography and helped in the arrest of Internet predators.
-
Protesting against Scientology: Anonymous launched an online offensive against the Church of Scientology, including phone, fax and e-mail spamming, and DDoS attacks.
-
Taking down government websites: Anonymous has taken down government websites in response to a variety of issues, including stringent LGBT laws, imageboard censorship, and government oppression.
-
Exposing corruption: Anonymous has published usernames in relation to nefarious activities and outed the owners and operators of Freedom Hosting for their support for child pornography.
These are just a few examples of the many things that Anonymous has been able to accomplish. While their methods are sometimes controversial, there is no doubt that they have had a significant impact on the world.
Downvoted for vague and unsubstantiated claims. Also, is point 5 the same as point 2?
Instead of dumping AI output, consider giving 1 concrete example of something Anonymous did and what effect it had.
Edit: and I just noticed you responded to the wrong comment. Good effort, champ.
I know you won’t so here you go. Btw you can just ask Gemini for links to it’s info noob

Every one of these was singing worrisome they did which had effects.
As somebody who was trying to find info on Scientology from back in the BBS pre Internet days they were very helpful.
Look it up yourself AI hater.

Firstly it has to be somewhere other than 4chan, but anonymity is a must…
Why not Lemmy? Federation seems kind of perfect for something so decentralized as Anonymous.
Why, did they actually accomplish anything?
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
basically the same thing they did to abortion doctors like dr tiller.
The same thing that they will continue to do to abortion doctors.
and gender affirming care doctors
All while pretending that their low-T treatment isn’t also gender affirming care.
Thank you to the Heritage Foundation for reminding me to donate to Wikimedia, almost forgot to do it.
Heritage Foundation plans to doxx and target Wikipedia editors in service to Zionism
Kinda burying the lead with that headline.
Can you smell the freedom?
I hope HF get the karma they deserve asap.
If god exists they’re all going to hell
So how do these idiots plan to solve the fact that many editors are not in fact based in the US. Just move edition these articles to any other country?
The Heritage Foundation doesn’t care if the people they dox are Americans or not. They care not for borders when it gets in the way of their agenda.
Well. I think they can dox someone editing out of Pajala in Sweden, Drenas in Kosovo, Bifuka in Japan or Bella Cola in Canada and it will mean fuck all. Perhaps Cletus in Bumfuck North Carolina will seethe but i will mean nothing
This is the way you would write that headline, lead with the thing people know.
And/or the group that broke the Supreme Court for the next 30+ years.
what a joke
What’s that, evidence of intent to commit terrorism?
Pretty sure just saying it is terrorism.
Try saying youll “doxx and target” UHC C suite and see how that goes. Theyll shove you in the same spot as luigi and name a hotline after you
This could be done in literally like 50 minutes.
There’s a Luigi hotline?
I meant the hotline they tried to hurry in for CEOs to call after what Luigi did. Because apparently thats ehat society’a funds should focus on.
So there’s a CEO hotline now?
It’s ideal for when you want to have hot, steamy conversations about all your deepest, darkest desires. Like popping CEOs, overthrowing the oligarchy, and making enough money to afford all your basic human needs.
But I’m Trump’s America, that’s OK, as long as you’re a Nazi.
Bring out your punchin’ fists. It’s time for a good ol’ fashioned fash bash.
The only good nazi is a dead nazi.
The slideshow says the group’s “targeting methodologies” would include creating fake Wikipedia user accounts to try to trick editors into identifying themselves by sharing personal information or clicking on malicious tracking links that can identify people who click on them. It is unclear whether this has begun.
What a bunch of complete dipshits. That being said, there are ways to request yourself to be allowed to use a VPN when editing if these fascist threats intimidate you.
