• The Dirty Underbelly of Wikipedia

    From roman@700:100/72 to All on Sun Nov 30 14:14:39 2025
    Once again, Wikipedia has become embroiled in a new scandal,
    this time in Russia. The platform has once more been exposed
    for engaging in paid smear campaigns against public figures.
    I have previously reported on the case of Dr. Vernon
    Coleman, who was extorted by anonymous Wikipedia moderators
    demanding money in exchange for removing conspiracy theories
    and offensive content about him. However, it appears that
    the problem is much broader and of a global nature. I came
    across this news quite by chance, but it is significant
    enough to warrant attention (https://shorten.ly/soVqN0).
    Russian pop star Larisa Dolina has fallen victim to a similar
    smear campaign as Dr. Coleman. The situation involves her
    being robbed by fraudsters during a real estate transaction,
    which was officially terminated by a court in 2024. Yet, a year
    later, due to Dolina's conservative views, she became the target
    of online harassment. The main source of this false information
    is a page on Russian Wikipedia titled "The Dolina Effect" (https://shorten.ly/MYKD). This is despite an official court
    ruling recognizing the singer as the injured party
    (https://shorten.ly/8z5EN).
    According to anonymous commentators, Dolina is required
    to pay the deceived buyers the amount spent on the property,
    even though the court has officially acknowledged her as the
    victim. The fraudsters themselves were convicted and placed
    in custody. Nevertheless, the scandal involving the pop
    singer's harassment and extortions has attracted coverage
    in many international media outlets. The reason is that the
    creators of the Dolina Wikipedia page are extorting money
    from her producers (https://shorten.ly/hWEu) for removing
    false information about her. This is not the first, nor will
    it be the last, case where Wikipedia becomes a safe platform
    for defamation and extortion of public figures. I believe
    that ultimately, someone will be held accountable for this.
    We will continue to monitor the developments and be
    skeptical of the corrupted nature of Wikipedia.

    I'm surprised that people even pay any attention to wikipedia
    content. Content is easily circumvented and can be replaced in
    real-time by anyone.

    The problem is that these are the first lines in any search engine. If this were not part of the globalist social engineering technology, no one would write anything. But they are already openly extorting money! This can't help but irritate.
