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.

    Mostly CEOs who are actually dangerous or otherwise malicious. Im pretty sure most of Lemmy would completely skip over Gabe Newell even if he is a billionaire simply cause he is the good one and valve’s business practices have been pretty good for going on 20 years now.

      Except for the csgo gambling I have no complaints about Gabe and he really does a lot of good stuff with valve, so he really might be one of the better billionaires.

      He’s on the list, but I think the billionaires/millionaires will fall in line before we get to him.
