Centre Demands Clarification from Wikipedia on Complaints of Inaccurate Information

The Indian government has issued a notice to Wikipedia, citing numerous complaints regarding bias and inaccuracies found on its pages. The notice raises a significant question: why shouldn’t Wikipedia be classified as a publisher rather than an intermediary, given the complaints? This communication comes from the Information and Broadcasting Ministry, which has expressed concerns that a small group may have editorial control over the content on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia promotes itself as a free online encyclopedia where volunteers can create or modify entries on various topics, including people and issues. However, this widely used information source is currently facing legal challenges in India due to allegations of providing inaccurate and defamatory content.
