Exclusive: Wikipedia bans 7 mainland Chinese power users over ‘infiltration and exploitation’ in unprecedented clampdown
The move by the Wikimedia Foundation came after "long and deep investigations" into a group of mainland Chinese users, two months after HKFP revealed that some of them allegedly threatened to report their Hong Kong peers to the city's national security police.
The foundation that oversees Wikipedia has taken unprecedented action to ban seven mainland Chinese users from its websites globally and revoke administrator access and other privileges for 12 other users, following an HKFP report of alleged threats to Hong Kong users.
