a powerful group of editors is hijacking wikipedia, pushing pro-palestinian propaganda, erasing key facts about hamas, and reshaping the narrative around israel with alarming influence
Sidenote:
Mike Solana, a Peter Thiel protégé, has made his Pirate Wires newsletter a must-read among the anti-woke investor class—and a window into what the most powerful people in tech really think.

@ecksmc Yep going to keep watch.
I did see on a forum that a lot of pages were locked down, pages to do with the war - meaning only certain "editors" can make changes 😬
Palestinian self immolation of information now ongoing.
Palestinians were on thin ice before - this will destroy their attempted narrative.
When you actively try to manipulate people like this, folks tend to skip getting mad and just get even against these Palestinian crusaders.
Unfortunately most folk won't believe it - they'll dismiss it cause it is mostly right-leaning "outlets" that are reporting it more than left-leaning - they'd need to outside their wee bubbles to read about it
@ecksmc True - curiously though facts dont change regardless of opinion shaping.
Doesn't mean the first "article" is false or nonsense
