In response to a recent post from a well-known Wikipedia bias critic, X owner Elon Musk hinted at forbidding the use of the online encyclopedia as a go-to source for censoring users’ posts on X.
Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger requested that Musk consider banning citations of Wikipedia from Community Notes, Aug. 7, calling the influence it has over the Community Notes on X “disturbing.” Musk criticized the woke online encyclopedia for its bias in response the following day: “I agree that Wikipedia cannot be used as a definitive source for Community Notes, as the editorial control there is extremely left-biased (and nihilistic imo). Actual source material, not derivative, matters much more.”
