Regardless of your standing with regards to the Israel-Palestine war, this is an unexpected development as now legacy networks are finally paying serious attention to criticisms of Wikipedia after years of neglect.
Any observers who’ve been following Wikipedia-related rabbit holes long enough would know that criticism of Wikipedia is for a long time dominated by the political fringes (i.e. far-right) and many Wikipedia critics normally gets ridiculed out of the room as they’re been characterized as “fascists” and “anti-knowledge”. Now it’s like a dream come true for those critics as they seemingly get vindicated on television networks.
You understand that your links are saying Wikipedia is going to easy on Israel for their genocide against the native inhabitants of that land…
Right?
Like, that is what you’re presenting as a long overdue thing…
Has that been the reason you hate Wikipedia this whole time, they’re too honest about genocide?
With all due respect, the pro-Palestinian side has been griping about Wikipedia as well. You’re clearly trying to pigeonhole people so that you can dismiss all the concerns that the so-called “magical platform” has a ton of issues after all.
You made a whole post celebrating media corporations owned by conservative billionaires supporting a genocide was not only a good, but novel thing…
What are people supposed to think?
Stop thinking about Wikipedia as a “magical platform” and start thinking it as just another institution which are prone to human errors. It’s because of Google that Wikipedia has become a suffocating monopoly which escaped consequences every time somebody wants to vibe check it, until now.
