    Do you have an example? Just curious.

    Personally I’d rather have crowd sourced bias than the bias of one really rich dude anyways.

        I mean, good luck with that. It’s near enough impossible to completely remove bias from any source of information… I think Wikipedia does a fairly good job, honestly, and the talk pages mean you can see different perspectives fairly openly.

      A lot of ex-communist east european countries history is biased as fuck. But I agree with you, I don’t think Musk buying Wikipedia would benefit it in any way. Although how much of “crowd” bias is there now is arguable as a lot of them are probably a part of some NGO or something…

        Not just NGOs, many groups are also involved in information warefare. This is a result of Wikipedia’s poor policies that favor profits more than its purpose.
