Wikipedia co-founder Lawrence Mark Sanger has accused US intelligence agencies of manipulating the online encyclopedia for nearly two decades.
In an interview with Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald, Sanger claimed that Wikipedia had become a tool of “control” in the hands of the US establishment, which includes the CIA, the FBI and other intelligence agencies.
“We have evidence that … even as far back as 2008 … that CIA and FBI computers were used to edit Wikipedia,” Sanger stated during the interview.
“Do you think they stopped doing that then?”
