Hello, Since the WMF has an ongoing partnership with SurveyMonkey [1][2], the WMF could review their possible abuse of Wikipedia ToS and, if confirmed, require them to cease this activity.
SurveyMonkey's possible use of undisclosed paid editing service was already brought to your attention on this mailing list in July 2018. SurveyMonkey was by then suspect of hiring Go Fish Digital to edit their Wikipedia article. In November 2018, the article started receiving edits from EastWestern [4], an account that was blocked from Wikipedia for sockpuppetting and whose behavior is very close to the Go Fish Digital sockpuppet farm uncovered last year. Suspicious activity resumed after the block by another user, who is pending a sockpuppet investigation. Given the WMF relation to SurveyMonkey, is it possible to do something about this?
