This is very big news! The Hill reported that House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has launched an investigation into far-left Wikipedia.
Chairman James Comer, (R-KY) and Rep. Nancy Mace, (R-SC) chair of the panel’s subcommittee on cybersecurity, information technology and government innovation, sent an information request concerning the issue to Maryana Iskander, chief executive officer of the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit that hosts Wikipedia on Wednesday.
The letter demands that CEO Maryana Iskander provide information on foreign operations and individuals at academic institutions subsidized by U.S. taxpayer dollars to influence U.S. public opinion.
The Committees are requesting the following information from Wikipedia in their ongoing investigation.
1. Records, communications, or analysis pertaining to possible coordination by nation state actors in editing activities on Wikipedia. 2. Records, communications, or analysis pertaining to possible coordination within academic institutions or other organized efforts to edit or influence content identified as possibly violating Wikipedia policies. 3. Records of Wikipedia’s Arbitration Committee (ArbCom) including but not limited to all editor conduct disputes and actions taken against them. 4. Records showing identifying and unique characteristics of accounts (such as names, IP addresses, registration dates, user activity logs) for editors subject to actions by ArbCom. 5. Documentation of Wikipedia’s editorial policies and protocols including those aimed at ensuring neutrality and addressing bias as well as policies regarding discipline for violations. 6. Any analysis conducted or reviewed by the Wikimedia Foundation (or by a third-party acting on its behalf) of patterns of manipulation or bias related to antisemitism and conflicts with the State of Israel.
