Encyclopedia Dramatica (ED;[5] also spelled Encyclopædia Dramatica)[6][7] is a satirical online community centered around a wiki[8] that acts as a "troll archive".[9] The site hosts racist material[10] and shock content; as a result it was filtered from Google Search in 2010.[11] It has been linked to one school shooting[12] and participates in harassment campaigns.[13]
On December 8, 2010, Encyclopedia Dramatica deleted its article on Operation Payback.[44] On the same day, Facebook deleted its Operation Payback page, and Twitter suspended Operation Payback's account.[45] An anonymous source told Gawker that the Encyclopedia Dramatica article was deleted as the result of court orders.[44]

In June 2020 it was reported by Canary Mission that Andrew "weev" Auernheimer is both the ".mw-parser-output .monospacedfont-family:monospace,monospaceweev" who "Zoombombed" a March 2020 chat for Jewish teens, and the "Joseph Evers" who owned and co-created the 2010 instance of ED and who has been wanted by the Australian Human Rights Commission since.[46][47]
In January 2010, the Encyclopedia Dramatica article Aboriginal was removed from the search engine results of Google Australia, after a lawyer filed a complaint with the Australian Human Rights Commission saying its content was racist.[76] A search on terms related to the article produced a message that one of the results has been removed after a legal request relating to Australia's Racial Discrimination Act (RDA).[77][78] The publicity surrounding this served to raise the profile of the site.[79] In March 2010, it was reported that the Australian Human Rights Commission had notified the site by e-mail that according to Australian law, the article Aboriginal could be in breach of Sections 18C and 18D of its RDA.[14] 2ff7e9595c
