Not sure what might come out of that, but I find the idea of convicting someone for purposely writing false information on a wikipedia page to be an interesting precedent.
if it's actually provably false information, I agree with the ruling. this would be something along the lines of claiming a guy was at the January 6th protest while there is video evidence of that person being in a completely different state at the time.
If it's merely information that contradicts what the anointed experts say, I would agree this is a dangerous precedent.
The law is that you have to know it's false and be intentionally spreading it to damage the guy's reputation.
It's not just Wikipedia. Klein made a whole separate website about the guy, among other things.
Makes you wonder how mental you gotta be. Even my worst enemy I wouldn't go about slander him everywhere possible even if I had the reach. Seems very excessive, if you got beef with him just have it amongst yourself. That's what I generally hate about current discourse where you gotta pull in your huge following to attack someone.
It's a typical toxic feminine behavior. Men generally do not do this kind of stuff.
It's not about false information, it's about defamation. You can lie all you want about other stuff.
I think it comes down to most defamation and similar things, wherein you can prove it was detrimental to your life/business and was done with intentional malice.
For a job like his, fucking with his wikipedia page could actually being argued as damaging his livelihood.
Well yeah, obviously. But including it at all in the lawsuit might mean that it could be specifically mentioned in the final ruling if he is convicted, which could make it a precedent.
