I did put together a list of Wikimedia-specific

draft bill a while back on the list.
But everyone pooh-poohed it and told me I'm crazy and paranoid. Oh well.
Is this the one where I said "nice one, please write up and submit"?
Also, despite what Andreas says, it's not about
partisanship, the bill
is drafted atrociously and extremely vaguely. Even if you agree with
what the government is trying to do, the bill is terribly written and
could lead to absolute absurd and ridiculous conclusions. Seriously,
read the draft bill. If you've used the Internet for more than half an
hour, you'll see why it's insane.
Andreas is mainlining Wikipediocracy memes, which are more or less
weird dystopic fanfiction from an alternate universe featuring some
real names. See recent tl;dr on wikimedia-l, and also keep in mind his
most recent service to WMUK.
