Is this César do Paço's wiki entry?

Apparently he donated ten of thousands euro to Portugal's right wing populist party Chega, and he really wanted to wipe that information out of existence

On 11 January 2021, Portuguese news channel SIC Notícias broadcast a story asserting that DePaço had donated over ten thousand euros to Portugal's Chega party, and highlighted connections of several of its leaders to the DePaço Foundation.[23][24][25] This was controversial in Cape Verde due to Chega's opposition to immigration.[26][27] The day after the SIC story was aired, Cape Verdean Foreign Minister, who had recently appointed DePaço as Honorary Consul of Cape Verde to Florida, resigned.[28][29] DePaço was subsequently dismissed,[30] At the time he was appointed, Cape Verde already had a consul in Florida.[31]

Also I just found out that Barbara Streisand's first name is spelled Barbra

If Wikipedia wants to be resilient against these sort of demands for information, they shouldn't store user information at all, no emails, no IP addresses, nothing.

They could allow people to register on the site using OAuth, yubikeys, and make edits through tor. It would make fighting spam a little harder but hopefully the OAuth barrier would keep that from getting abused.

But the point still stands if a website has the capability of revealing its users, it will be compelled to reveal that information.

If Portugal is in the EU, is there no option for them to ask them to get the suit dropped for violating EU law?
