wikipedia is a good portal when you want to learn about a topic. It has quick links to related articles so you can get to what you want to learn. You just have to confirm any “facts” you learn for accuracy.

Exactly. Heck, school books are not considered re,iable by anyone with 1/2 a brain either, BUT they are good sources for info as long as you filter put their obvious bias and lies. They do contain grains of truth

The government’s job is not to “protect people from disinformation”, as people can verify for the selves if something is true or not. Those too lazy to do so are the very folks that were spoken of when the term “buyer beware” was coined!

If they are too lazy to investigate for themselves, then they should suffer the co sequences of their actions or lack thereof. The gov should not be involved led in determine what is fact or fiction for society as their determinations are very often biased fiction soaked 1/2 truths themselves.

Exactly.

wikipedia has its uses. It's just not written in stone truth.
