IA moderating Wikipedia – former editor
Press United ^ | 3/8/23 | Updates

Intelligence agencies have been manipulating the online encyclopedia for more than a decade, Larry Sanger has claimed

Wikipedia is one of many tools used by the US liberal establishment and its allies in the intelligence community to wage “information warfare,” the site’s co-founder, Larry Sanger, has told journalist Glenn Greenwald.

Speaking on Greenwald’s ‘System Update’ podcast, Sanger lamented how the site he helped found in 2001 has become an instrument of “control” in the hands of the left-liberal establishment, among which he counts the CIA, FBI, and other US intelligence agencies.

“We do have evidence that, as early as 2008, that CIA and FBI computers were used to edit Wikipedia,” he said. “Do you think that they stopped doing that back then?”

They will be using AI, because AI can edit a million pages a day, or better, when it gets ramped up.

From the article:

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also admitted that Facebook, the biggest social media platform on Earth, censored accurate information that was damaging to President Joe Biden’s 2020 election campaign at the direct request of the FBI.

Years ago, I noticed that they had an entry on the Little Ice Age that was very clear and made it clear that a general warming trend was well under way before the 1950’s.

Since CO2 isn’t a player until the 1950’s, somebody went back and muddied the article so that it wasn’t a refutation of the stupid hockey stick model.

Read the glowing description of Hunter Biden on Wikipedia. Those people are full of leftist crap.

Maybe he works for the alphabets? Like the guy who owned hus own island, lots of powerful, sick guests, had a submarine, and didn’t commit suicide in jail?

Untouchables.

ETL got banned, unfortunately

There was always good information - he liked to show history related or at least tangentially-related to the article and/or some of the figures discussed in same

“Surprised?”

In my case not sure.

I’d like to see some before and after screenshots. Doesn’t Wikipedia keep an editing history for each article?

Now Russia has set up a program to edit all Wikis that defame or otherwise insult Russia, incorrectly cite Russian history and the Russian worldview.

Surprised?

That’s what they do. It’s Russia. The last democratically elected President of Russia laid siege to the Dumas and took out the members of the opposition and had them shot. Then he proved to be such an incompetent lush that he let Putin take over and resigned. But he was pretty impressive when he climbed onto that tank. Now it’s Putin, Putin and more Putin. What else would he do.

America is not supposed to be like that. But it’s not surprising that they now are, and have been for a long time. Just disappointing.
