Larry Sanger, Wikipedia's co-creator, claims intelligence agencies like the CIA have hijacked Wikipedia entries for their benefit.
Sanger alleges Wikipedia censors right-wing and conservative views, with administrators blocking ideologically opposed users.
He revealed that between 2006-2007, tools like Wiki Scanner exposed edits from intelligence-linked IP addresses, including Langley (CIA headquarters).
Sanger describes Wikipedia as a 'gold mine' for intelligence agencies to manipulate public opinion.
Tucker Carlson criticizes Wikipedia as a weapon of ideological war and a leading source of disinformation.
Sanger first labeled Wikipedia as 'propaganda' in 2020 and has urged investigations into government editing of Wikipedia entries.
A congressional investigation into Wikipedia edits by U.S. employees is reportedly underway, though Sanger's influence on its initiation is unclear.
