March 2, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger is launching a free speech alternative to the online encyclopedia as he attempts to fight back against the left-wing “propaganda” that Wikipedia promotes, in addition to his historic concerns about the site’s “porn problem.”
Speaking February 23 on Just the News, Sanger pointed to how Wikipedia entries were formulated in a way that “completely ignores any conservative, libertarian, or critical treatment of the subject.”
Sanger mentioned how this treatment, especially of topics such as socialism, was not education but “propaganda.” It would “take time,” Sanger added, “for people to be educated about what Wikipedia has changed into.”
While the platform did not start out with a left-leaning bias, Sanger explained that a decade ago “as liberals, or leftists made, their march through the institutions, Wikipedia became one of those influential institutions. They started their march and basically took it over.”
Wikipedia’s censorship does not stop with conservatives, though, as Sanger observed that a possible target would be “anything that is contrary to the establishment, broadly speaking.”
