There is an important difference here. The WMF does not publicly log the IP addresses of visitors to the site. <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy#your-use-of-wm-sites> It does however publish the IP addresses of editors who are not logged in.
I could understand the elitist claim if the WMF were more privacy conscious of editors than readers. But it isn't, if anything the divide is a three way one, with unregistered editors as the ones who by default have least privacy Regards Jonathan On 5 April 2015 at 21:18, Federico Leva (Nemo) <nemow...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I propose we run a study.
