ICE agents in 2029 if the GOP is defeated in elections.

There are indeed many people who will double down on behalf of Wikipedia when faced with criticism about the encyclopedia's issues. It's as if Wikipedia has devolved into a cult.

Pro-Russian Narratives Target Wikipedia, Marking a Dangerous Trend for AI Chatbot Data Recent Wikipedia edits raising alarms in Estonia suggest attempts to reshape historical narratives, with implications for AI training and ideological biases.

At this point it's prolly inevitable that the Congress will investigate Wikipedia, even though there is a Democrat majority in the former after the 2026 elections.

Estonian media is now reporting that Wikipedia is distorted by Ruzzian propagandists. This is really something that will alienate Wikipedia from center-left audiences.

Unfortunately, there's too many existing systemic issues on Wikipedia that makes state-sponsored tampering even more easier.

With that way they gain an additional pathway for revenue, such as income taxes and wealth taxes, but in exchange for those they'd have to be forced to behave themselves and try their best in not enshittifying further.

But in any case for me, ironically all their arguments about sustainability had provided good reasons to treat Proton and any other Big Tech services as de facto utilities.

One of the server members really behaved like stereotypical "AI bros" so I freaked up by a bit there since I have Long COVID but eventually the arguments implicitly hit the Layne's Law stage (something like Godwin's Law but softer).

Ultimately, in both the short and long term, such policies will cause serious erosion of historical integrity, which is especially paramount as in the era of deepfakes, lies and misinformation are just as likely as to arise from the absence of data than the presence of it.

Besides, many accounts and contents that were created or owned by now-deceased users are likely affected under such policies. This could mean that immense amounts of valuable or historical significant contents will be lost over time.

In the case of email services, deletion of inactive accounts could result in major inconvenience for users who used the accounts as multiple factor authentications for important services such as banking.

Examples include hospitalization, incarceration, and being in totalitarian countries (i.e. Afghanistan) which are found to have implemented prolonged internet shutdowns, and other unforeseen factors such as the 2023 Hamas hostage crisis and being trapped in scam factories in Southeast Asia.

Inactive account deletion policies will adversely affect those who had good reasons to become inactive for a long time.

According to the relevant Consumer Rights Wiki's entry about inactive account deletion, there are multiple issues that will inevitably arise from such policies.

But since it's a belly of the beast some people there doubled down on their circlejerks arguing for the continuation of the stupidly harsh inactive account policies, although there are some who supported getting the policies changed to a more moderate direction.
