- tmalsburg2 9y agoNothing is ever completely bulletproof. The real question is whether this is better than or a useful addition to the more traditional news media. I think there is a good chance that it will be.
- backpropaganda 9y agoThe same wikipedia has. Algorithms to detect vandalism. People responsible for groups of pages. Wages of such people paid for by donations to ensure they don't yurn biased themselves.
- tnone 9y agoWhen has 4chan brigaded a wiki? To my knowledge, the only high profile brigading is when feminists go on their edit-a-thons to shift the bias in their direction.
