Wikipedia may have begun life as an open-source utopia of free knowledge, but it has devolved into a repressive oligarchy run by unaccountable petty tyrants. It is a punitive system that targets those who refuse to toe the line. Anyone who represents a threat to the establishment can become a victim, and once an ideologically-motivated cabal of editors sinks its teeth into your article, there is no way to remove them.

Edit: apparently the author went full QAnon in 2020. This article is from 2018 and is reasonably well-researched, though it downplays the participation of the USA agencies and corporations in the astroturfing campaigns, but I needed to put forward this disclaimer regarding all her other content.

    The problem with Wikipedia is that it’s astroturfed by the cia not that it suppresses alternative medicine
