Hi MarioGom,
Thanks for outlining these concerns. The Legal Team is currently looking
into the issue and has reached out to SurveyMonkey for additional
information. I will provide an update here when the matter is resolved.
Best,
Elena

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?
