Īs one of Wikipedia's most active female editors, White has been a regular target of online harassment, threats of violence, doxxing, and hounding both on Wikipedia and off-site. She served six years on the English Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee, which adjudicates editor disputes. This work, she said, fulfills her interest in validating information online and her belief that spreading information produces societal change. Under the username "GorillaWarfare", she has made over 100,000 edits as of early 2022. She received mainstream news coverage for her work editing the article about the January 6 United States Capitol attack. Initially, White wrote articles about her favorite emo bands and women scientists, but came to write about right-wing extremism-such as Gamergate, the Boogaloo movement, Gab, Parler, and Jacob Wohl-during the Donald Trump administration. White began editing Wikipedia at the age of 13, and became a site administrator while still in high school. She has edited a range of articles on controversial topics concerning right-wing extremism. White additionally volunteers as a Wikipedia editor and is among the site's most active women. She has appeared in Web3-related news, consulted on federal legislation for regulating the crypto industry, and successfully proposed that the Wikimedia Foundation cease to collect crypto donations. A critic of the decentralized blockchain ( Web3) and cryptocurrency industries, her website, Web3 Is Going Just Great, documents malfeasance in that technology space. Molly White (born 1993) is an American software engineer, Wikipedia editor, and crypto skeptic. ![]()
