Close down Encyclopedia Dramatica.
Published September 2, 2009
This is a petition to close down the website encyclopedia dramatica. This site is openly promiting bullying, racism, disability discrimination, harrassment, libel, vile pornographic images that are not suitable for children, and other obnoxious material. There are no warnings that this site is not suitable for minors, it looks just like any other wiki at a glance.
The site promotes harrassment of other site owners & internet users. It has been linked to heinous bullying campagnes.
The site uses artwork & images stolen from other sites, images of site users & staff also, without their permission.
This site gives out contact infomation for people it is targetting, which is highly illegal.
I have no problem with porn or adult material provided it is only viewed by adults, but Encyclopedia Dramatica takes things one step too far, and should be taken offline.
It even violates it's host's TOS, yet the host fails to act. The site is run by IRC trolls, bullys & outcasts with nothing better to do. Cyberbullying is becoming recognised by law here in the UK, and a girl has just been jailed for it.
ED has had it's fun, it's time to shut this (illegal) party down. Racism, gender discrimination, sexism, disability discrimination & bullying are not welcome, online or in the real world. The more we allow it to go on, the more the bullys will beleive it to be ok.
Please sign this petition if you would like to see ED torn down for good. If I reach 1000000 signatures, I will send this petition to wikimedia.
