How Anonymous Gatekeepers Control Wikipedia
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
If you want to the Wikipedia article about your enterprise or about yourself affecting your reputation to read a certain way, then you know that you actually have to pay to basically have your article read a certain way.
Sometimes, maybe not all the time, but like if there's a problem, you can get it fixed.
You're going to have to pay like five or ten thousand dollars or something to some PR firm that will, you know, with a reasonably good chance of success, be able to effect changes.
So there are gatekeepers, back channel gatekeepers that are controlling things.
I'm not saying that this is something that, no, the government should not be trying to control this.
That would be far worse than the situation we have right now.
But I do think for legal purposes, both concerning foreign affairs, you know, and matters of state like Congress is investigating now, but also torts.
We need to understand what the hell is going on behind the scenes better.
And then the other thing doesn't really concern the stakeholders.
The other thing that needs to be done is, I think, over the next few weeks and months, we need to have a season of participation by the people who have been left out of Wikipedia.
If we descend en masse to Wikipedia, you have to behave yourself or they will just get rid of you and you won't have anything, you won't have a leg to stand on in the system.
But if you behave yourself, follow the rules, ask an LLM for help about how to craft this so that your contribution is acceptable to Wikipedia and your talk page comments have to be just so, or again, you will be booted in short order.
