Owned by a woman named Jay Graber...?

Quote from Wikipedia:

"Her net worth is estimated at $5 million."

"It is now run and predominantly owned by chief executive Jay Graber as a US public benefit corporation."

#US / Discredited pro-Israel organization targets Wikipedia while ignoring its own documented bias

The ADL published a report titled "Editing for Hate" claiming 30 "bad faith" Wikipedia editors conducted a "coordinated campaign" to insert anti-Israel and pro-Hamas narratives. The ADL is demanding that #Google and other #AI companies refrain from using Wikipedia as a source until Wikipedia takes steps to combat what the ADL considers bias in its coverage of Israel.

Background

Right-wing figures are mounting a coordinated assault on #Wikipedia following #trump's reelection, with #musk calling to "defund" the site after it documented his Nazi-style salute at the inauguration, tech executives like #Perplexity's CEO demanding an "unbiased" alternative, the Heritage Foundation planning to use facial recognition and hacked data to "identify and target" volunteer editors, and the New York Post publishing an editorial citing a "bombshell report" claiming Wikipedia equates "true" with "left wing" - all part of what appears to be a strategic campaign to intimidate and undermine one of the internet's last major platforms for transparent, collaborative information that remains free from paywalls and corporate influence.

The infamously unreliable (as per the Wikipedia itself) pro-Israel Islamophobic organization whose CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, isn't bothered at all by Musk's sieg heil, has been accused of:

[…] Even though the ADL is integrated into community work on a range of issues, it has a history and ongoing pattern of attacking social justice movements led by communities of color, queer people, immigrants, Muslims, Arabs, and other marginalized groups, while aligning itself with police, right-wing leaders, and perpetrators of state violence. More disturbing, it has often conducted those attacks under the banner of “civil rights.” This largely unpublicized history has come increasingly to light as activists work to make sense of the ADL’s role in condemning the Movement for Black Lives, Palestinian rights organizing, and Congressional Representative Ilhan Omar, among others.

See droptheadl.org/

The #Wikimedia Foundation responded that they found the ADL report "flawed" with "troubling conclusions that are not supported by the Anti-Defamation League's data"​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​:

[…] “The values of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation reflect our commitment to integrity and accuracy, and we categorically condemn antisemitism and all forms of hate. Though our preliminary review of this report finds troubling and flawed conclusions that are not supported by the Anti-Defamation League's data, we are currently undertaking a more thorough and detailed analysis. It is unfortunate that we were not asked to provide context that might have helped allay some of the concerns raised,”

✧ Edward the Martyr ✧

Edward the Martyr (c. 962 – 18 March 978) was King of the English from 8 July 975 until he was killed in 978. His father, King Edgar, had been a strong and overbearing monarch who had forced the nobility to surrender land to the monasteries. Edward's reign is remembered as a time of lawlessness, because of the efforts of the nobles to get their land back, sometimes by force, an...
