The Government of India on Tuesday put Wikipedia on notice, asking it to explain complaints of bias and inaccuracies in articles of the webpage, according to new agency ANI.
Centre also asked why Wikipedia shouldn’t be treated as a publisher instead of an intermediary since a small group has editorial control.
This comes amid the lawsuit against the website by ANI, who has sought to restrain Wikipedia from publishing content that is allegedly defamatory on the news agency's page on the platform. The agency has also sought the content be removed. Besides, ANI has sought Rs 2 crore in damages from Wikipedia.
