Elon Musk calls for boycott of Wikipedia donations

Earlier this year, the Delhi High Court served a contempt notice on Wikipedia for strongly objecting to its failure to disclose information about those who made edits to the entry page of news agency Asian News International.

The ardent supporter of the Republican presidential candidate and former US President Donal Trump shared with me a report stating.

“A seemingly coordinated campaign led by around 40 Wikipedia editors has worked to delegitimize Israel, present radical Islamist groups in a favorable light, and position fringe academic views on the Israel-Palestine conflict as mainstream over past years, intensifying after the October 7 attack.”.

Earlier this year, the Delhi High Court (September 5) issued a contempt notice to Wikipedia — the widely used free online encyclopedia — taking strong objection to its failure to disclose information about those made edits on the entry page of news agency Asian News International (ANI).

In reply to the news agency’s non-compliance with its order regarding a defamation suit, the court told Wikipedia not to work in India if it did not like doing so and that it would ask the central government to block the platform in the country.

ANI said that Wikipedia has failed to comply with its orders to reveal details on subscribers who made defamatory edits on its entry page on the platform.
