New Delhi:
The government has put Wikipedia on notice with reference to complaints of bias and inaccuracies in entries in the popular and free online encyclopedia, sources.
The government pointed out that a select group – a community of volunteers – holds editorial control, and asked why Wikipedia should not, in such a case, be treated as a ‘publisher’ instead of an ‘intermediary’.
The notice comes amid a legal battle in the Delhi High Court, in which news agency Asian News International, has demanded information about users who made edits to an entry about the firm; the alleged edit referred as “the propaganda tool” of the Indian government.
