| CIA, Diebold Edited Wikipedia Entries And the CIA has turned up on a list of groups that have edited entries on the popular online encyclopedia Wikipedia. According to Wikipedia Scanner, a user logging on from the CIA�s web domain made edits to the entry for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmenidijad. The controversial voting-machine company Diebold has also been caught making changes. In 2005, a Diebold computer was used to remove paragraphs describing chief executive Walden O�Dell as a top fundraiser for President Bush. Paragraphs and links referring to voter fraud in the 2000 elections were also taken down. |
i was wondering how long it would take someone to mention this. really, is it that big of a deal? it IS a public information service after all. Why should the CIA be any different to the rest of us? wiki is full of shit and bias, i dont really see the issue.
I think its far more offensive that the japanese write historically inaccurate textbooks for their students regarding WW2.

| Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN yeah, and what better way to spread misinformation? honestly, if this were the one and only source of all human knowledge, it might be different. but im not gonna lose sleep over people that blindly believe anything wiki tells them. CIA edits sure aint gonna affect my world view you know what has more effect on my world view? Electronic Arts editing their page dirty cash-thieving, bad-game-making bastards! |
Pro Evolution Soccer 6 kicks Fifa's ass any day.
Hwaaaaa?! More scandal!
Edits made by someone at CIA may not necessarily reflect a policy to spread misinformation via wikipedia. It's ridiculous to assume they are doing it. Let them hack into Encyclopedia Britannica and make edits. Then we will see.

A worker on the CIA network added "Wahhhhhh!" before a section on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's plans for his presidency, according to reports. |
The Vatican carried out shit more interesting than that!

The Vatican has apparently edited entries about Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams, removing a link to newspaper stories alleging his involvement in a double murder in 1971. |
Oh, wow ... no more Wikipedia sourcing for me, that does it! Holly shit I am an idiot (for not realizing this earlier).

| Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN blah blah. i dont give a fuck about wiki. it is a PUBLIC site. anyone can edit it. i dont get my knowledge from wiki, so i dont care. if other people do, that's their own fault. we live in an age of internet knowledge and if people are too fucking lazy to do real research with proper material (published imo) then they deserve to be sheep led around by the CIA. perhaps someone in here should put forward an argument as to why certain sectors of the community should be prevented from a public service like wiki? |
