What you should know about the Google-Wikipedia-Wikimedia collaboration - Sally Zahav

 

by Sally Zahav

How did Wikipedia shift from being a neutral encyclopedia to a social-justice driven with the objective of shaping public opinion. 

 The following text is taken from the description of the podcast included below. What you will hear in the discussion between Dave Rubin and Ashley Rindsberg is important for anyone to know who is interested in getting information from unbiased sources. 

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Ashley Rindsberg about the history of bias in the New York Times; how platforms like Wikipedia and Reddit have been captured by ideological forces and now shape public perception through ideological bias; how Wikipedia shifted from a neutral encyclopedia to a social-justice–driven project under figures like Katherine Maher; Google’s deep and secret partnership with Wikipedia and how it influences what information rises to the top; how the ideological bias that captured Wikipedia is now being used to train Ai models like ChatGPT; the danger of bots, propaganda, and foreign actors distorting political discourse; and much more.
