And, there is a lot of talk on here about section 230, but, can't someone from outside the US sue Wikipedia as well under laws there. Isn't that what happened with Yahoo in France?
Wikimedia has no property in France, and so a judgment from a French court has no teeth as against Wikimedia because no US court will enforce a foreign judgment without first holding a "fundamental fairness" hearing, at which §230 would be ample grounds to deny execution. Yahoo's situation was different because Yahoo had property in France.
Does WMF have property in the UK? If the bookstore at 27 Old Gloucester Street, London still exists, Binmore does. Even if he rents, there are the contents.

Akahele.org recently received an interesting comment, which we're holding in the hopper for a little while -- not accepting it, though not rejecting it -- purportedly from "Lee Dennison", geolocating to a Canadian ISP.
ROFL. Ask him how he managed to be the hardest working and least-credited casting director in the whole world. (IMG:
