Rules
Remember, Lemmy World rules also apply here.

This is completely different. Wikipedia tracks users and IP’s who don’t follow their rules, as a website that anyone can edit, they need too.
That doesn’t mean they’ll track people outside of wikipedia on social media.
It's still insane. Things containing sensitive information like that should normally be restricted to users who had certain needs or ranks to do so. After all there's little to no vetting process and anyone can post libellous information against other editors, whether on as a LTA page or as a user subpage, the latter which is more prevalent than the former.
I would ask you to suspend your judgement and belief and ponder for a moment that no institutions are perfect and whether you might be making the same mistakes as defenders of Theranos or Scientology did, before the respective scandals are exposed.
Here is the so-called Anvil email, which was an abusive message sent to an alleged rule offender by a Wikipedia admin. There they specifically mentioned that the alleged offender is Jewish and then the former insulted the latter further based on that.

As for the sexual harassment scandals, there's one thing to corroborate on the veracity.
