According to Forbes, Griffith insisted that his reasoning behind creating these tools isn’t to invade anyone’s privacy or encourage better privacy protection. Although, he does believe that if something like this could be created by a hacker so easily, they Wikipedia should create better anonymity tools. In any case, he believes “if people are anonymous, the quality of their contribution is probably much lower… Wouldn’t you want Wikipedia users to be held accountable for what they change?â€
Interesting, but that shows they completely forgot about IPv6, which will make those tools useless for the good or bad they do.
I can already predict that some wikipedia admins blocking people that use IPv6 routes because the admins will, as they already have, foolishly claim proxy edits. lol
