I think there is some room for debate here about the political bias of wikipedia, and there is some evidence to suggest a left wing bias.
However this article is pretty venomous and the author doesn't even make an attempt at masking their disdain for the other side. It's not written in good faith.
I'd prefer if someone shared a more cool-headed article on the subject
> Although many on the right, including Musk, have styled themselves as valiant defenders of free speech, their actions expose them as opposite: only willing to defend speech they find agreeable, while hostile towards and desperate to clamp down on criticism or opposing views.
It's 100% hypocrisy.
Moderation is the mark of a civil forum. I only peruse two, including HN. I have no time or attention to give to unchecked lies and hate speech.
Damn, I can't believe that after purchasing and consolidating every TV station, media network, and TikTok under republican control, they are suddenly threatened by Wikipedia.
