[ News 18 ] Centre Puts Wikipedia On Notice Amid Complaints Of Bias, Inaccuracies

The Indian government has raised concerns with Wikipedia regarding alleged bias and inaccuracies in its content. The government questioned Wikipedia’s intermediary status, suggesting it should be held accountable as a publisher. This could expose Wikipedia to legal action for potentially defamatory or inaccurate information. The government highlighted that a small group exercises editorial control over its pages. Wikipedia advertises itself as a free online encyclopedia where volunteers can create or edit pages on various subjects. The platform is currently embroiled in legal cases in India over alleged inaccurate and defamatory content.
