      Like… You should probably get to work organizing then because they’re already doing it.

      They can try… Wikipedia has been bolstering themselves against this exact kind of attack for many years. They’ve made the entirety of the site completely downloadable for literally anyone to make and keep a copy and lots of people do (though the more the better).

      The Wikimedia corporation that runs the actual site may have to ensure that it’s incorporated in a different country though.
