Orwell's fantasies are now realities. This article should be published in newspapers round the world. Several years ago, I discovered that Wikipedia is far from the free editing site it pretends to be. I tried to add my new books to the list in my entry and to change the incorrect age they had given me. Immediately, a rude Indian editor descended on me, threatened to ban me and wrote a nasty note about me to the other editors because there is a rule that you cannot edit your own page even to correct facts. I was not aware of this rule. I then asked people I knew to add the books to my page but they were also disallowed because you cannot edit the pages of anyone with whom you have been associated! Later, I began to notice the biased way Wikipedia labels and reports on anyone whose politics isn't left-wing enough for them.

Now its like all the rest of "free" online Info and all sources that existed before Y 2 K ..
History seems to be trying to repeat. The National Socialists banned private property and were virulently antisemitic.
Sanger shouldn't worry. AI is making Wikipedia irrelevant...
Except that AI is learning from Wikipedia. Garbage in garbage out.
The only problem is that AI regurgitates most of its knowledge from Wikipedia and Reddit, which are communist cesspools.
