組織に対するユーザーデータやコンテンツ削除の誤った要求

ウィキメディア財団 (“WMF”)は、最大のオンラン百科事典であるWikipediaを含む、全てのWikimedia sitesを運営する非営利団体です。ウィキメディア運動の中には、多くの地域的な、独立した組織が存在します。国別協会テーマ別団体運動パートナーズユーザーグループ (これらを以後「運動組織」と称します)です。これらの独立した運動組織は、Wikimedia mission を促進するために運営がなされています。「フリーランスあるいはパブリックドメインのもと、教育コンテンツを効果的に、世界的に、集め、発展させ、広めるために世界中の人を力づけ関与してもらう」ためです。

問題点: 利用者データやコンテンツ改変を求める不適切な要求を受けること

Movement organizations may be contacted by local authorities, individuals or corporations requesting user information, or the alteration or removal of content on Wikimedia sites. However, movement organizations are not granted access to user information and cannot guarantee the permanent alteration or removal of Wikimedia-site content in response to a third-party demand. Only the Wikimedia Foundation - as the operator and host of the Wikimedia sites - has the authority to respond to these types of official requests. The following information provides chapters with the Foundation's initial position on how to handle official requests. Please see our legal disclaimer for more information.

解決策 ユーザーデータとコンテンツのテイクダウンに関する問い合わせをWMFにリダイレクト

運動組織に関する一般的な誤解を解くため、自治体、個人、企業が運動組織にユーザーデータやサイトコンテンツについて問い合わせる際には、以下のことを伝える必要がある:

  • Movement organizations are independent legal entities. The role of movement organizations is to independently promote the Wikimedia mission within a particular geographical region or with regards to a particular topic without specific direction from or control by WMF. Movement organizations are separate legal entities within the larger Wikimedia movement. WMF has no ownership over movement organizations, as they are not subsidiaries of WMF. Movement organizations support the mission in various ways by organizing local events like edit-a-thons and hackathons to engage local users (or “community members”), participating in partnerships with institutions for content liberation through projects like GLAM, and coordinating local competitions like Wiki Loves Monuments.
  • Movement organizations do not have legal control or responsibility over content on Wikimedia sites. Content on Wikimedia sites is created and curated, without direction from WMF or any particular movement organization, by community members from all over the world. This content is then hosted on WMF’s servers in the United States where WMF fulfills its role in maintaining the sites and dealing with authorities about data and content. Movement organizations promote the use and development of the WMF-hosted Wikimedia sites, but they do not have physical or legal control over the servers or content on the website and therefore, cannot alter or remove content at the request of a third party.
  • Movement organizations do not have access to user information. User data that is collected on Wikimedia sites in accordance with the WMF privacy policy is stored on WMF servers located in the United States. Consequently, only Wikimedia staff and certain volunteers have the authority to provide user information to authorities, so local authorities must contact WMF’s registered agent or WMF’s legal team by emailing legal@wikimedia.org to obtain access to user information.
  • All official requests (i.e. subpoenas, court orders, etc.) for user data or content alteration or removal must be sent to WMF’s registered agent. This is the only way to ensure the WMF Legal Department receives the official request and to ensure that the authority receives complete and accurate data. Oral requests or questions from an officer or individual may be directed to WMF’s legal team by emailing legal wikimedia org.

ご留意ください

Movement organizations share in the WMF mission of making the sum of all knowledge readily accessible by everyone, but they do not share the legal responsibility of hosting the Wikimedia sites. Only WMF independently operates and hosts all Wikimedia sites. As a result, WMF is the sole entity legally authorized to release user data and the sole entity responsible for hosting content content appearing on the sites. Please see below for standardized language you may send in response to requests for user data or content alteration/removal. Feel free to contact the WMF with any additional questions you may have.
