WIRED magazine allows Maher to pathetically beg for more money from Google and Facebook.
As if Google hasn't given them millions already.

More recently, YouTube and Facebook have turned to Wikipedia for a new reason: to address their issues around fake news and conspiracy theories. YouTube said that they would begin linking to Wikipedia articles from conspiracy videos, in order to give users additional – often corrective – information about the topic of the video. And Facebook rolled out a feature using Wikipedia’s content to give users more information about the publication source of articles appearing in their feeds.
Not stated: that some Wikipedia content is politically biased and has been since the 2003-2005 era. I've posted examples of the ongoing pro-Israel bias, some of which has been repaired and some not. Even if you skip over the pro-science and intolerance of 9/11 conspiracy materials and the obsessive hatred of L. Ron Hubbard and Lyndon LaRouche and Anyone Chip Berlet Hates This Week and several other things, there are still thousands of little messes left from editwars no one noticed.
Go ahead. Ask the Bitch Maher why there's no article about Cyrus Farivar or Denise Milani. Or why a Wikipedia arbitrator spent years convicting and hanging Amanda Knox on Wikipedia. Or why Rachel Marsden must be humiliated. Or many other things.
Ask me about the Knox editwar. I dare ya.
