"... draft decision of Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee (ArbCom) on Gamergate is worse than a crime ..."
(Mark Bernstein): http://www.markbernstein.org/Jan15/Infamous.html The infamous draft decision of Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee (ArbCom) on Gamergate is worse than a crime. It's a blunder that threatens to disgrace the internet. ... Yesterday, ArbCom announced its preliminary decision. A panel of fourteen arbitrators - at least 11 of whom are men - decided to give GamerGate everything they'd wished for. All of the Five Horsemen are sanctioned; most will be excluded not only from "Gamergate broadly construed" but from anything in Wikipedia touching on "gender or sexuality, broadly construed." -- Mark Bernstein - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy I am a consultant to Google -- I speak only for myself, not for them.
