Background: Microsoft GitHub Exposé — Part XXV — Microsoft Employs Serial Strangler as a Manager, Running GitHub Copilot in Spite of Arrest for Assault on Women | Official Copy Detailing Crimes of Microsoft's Serial Strangler, Who is Trying to Strangle GPL Enforcement/Compliance With GPL-Violating Copilot | Trial of Microsoft's Serial Strangler, Who Also Manages GitHub's Copilot

Summary: Nat Friedman, who deleted some of his online presence, probably hopes you won't notice what's going on with his Wikipedia page this week

Note: Microsofters have long had a habit of defacing Wikipedia in their favour, usually via PR agencies as proxies. They violate Wikipedia policies and Wikipedia's Jimbo Wales has openly blasted them for it. They never get punished though.
