Wikipedia is one of the most visited Internet sites, which presents itself as an "encyclopedia" and is accepted by many non-specialists as well as schoolchildren as an unquestioning source of truth. The site was launched in 2001 by an Alabama entrepreneur named Jimmy Wales. Before founding the Wikipedia site, Jimmy Wales created the Internet project Bomis, which distributed paid pornography, a fact that he diligently strives to remove from his biography (Hansen 2005; Schilling xnumx).

Many people think that Wikipedia is trustworthy because anyone can edit it, but in fact this website presents the point of view of its most persistent and regular editors, some of which (especially in the areas of social controversy) are activists seeking to influence public opinion. . Despite its official policy of neutrality, Wikipedia has a strong liberal bias and an openly leftist bias¹. In addition, Wikipedia is heavily influenced by paid public relations and reputation management professionals who remove any negative facts about their customers and present biased content. Although such paid editing is not allowed, Wikipedia does little to comply with its rules, especially for large donors.
