Challenge for the misinformation and source of reliable news viewpoint

Challenge for the misinformation and source of reliable news viewpoint, it pops up or accelerates as Wikipedia reports pro-China infiltration and shapes the view point for content.

From the recent Wikipedia blames pro-China infiltration and several editors who are working to manipulate the content to shape the content and what Wikipedia did to ban now in the world media interest. Since wikipedia is dependent on the volunteers and indeed, if the editor has been biased in the certain content, it impacts the reputation for the wikipedia content. It is particularly so when a group of volunteers or paid cyber troop who are acting as volunteers and favour a single viewpoint, directly, it already manipulates the content credibility to favour one specific group interest. Due to extremely powerful influence of wikipedia, when it execute by country to promote a specific viewpoint and it make a stand, it become a problem for the respect of the country, where one viewpoint will be in focus and potential remove all the rest of the different viewpoint for a specific subject matter and threat.

The battle for competition for being a higher privilege editor who can silence the rest of the different viewpoints has become one of the concerns. Pushing for using controlled information sources as the base will end up providing completely different and biased information, that is what Wikipedia and the rest of the world is concerned about. Despite what we all know, history is already written by those who are winners for the specific event, who control the historical records in favor of their viewpoint.

Acting in good faith for volunteers is the foundation for wikipedia for. It is worth seeing the incident and how the follow up action will be carried out. When the action been carry out by large group of paid pretend volunteer, continue to promote one single view point across all online media, and how the modern technology we are use to counter balance that be what the modern technology can be used for, and reader need to have the self judgement how for what you read, even from the popular news sources, may not be the factual information. Modern technology continues to evolve as a tool, its two edged sword, depending on how you use it for the good or for the bad. Let see how the follow up news for the incident goes in the near future, we believe Wikipedia just one of the cases in the iceberg, more is not reported for a lot of reasons, in particular when the national state is involved in promoting a certain viewpoint.

Just imagine, who can define absolute right or wrong and claim the specific viewpoint is correct, and the rest is all wrong? The best is to provide all the viewpoints for the reader to decide, but of course, when one side has too many paid volunteers to favor one view, we can expect the content reliability as the outcome.

We are living in the age without Guru, as the young generation keep exercising the simple thought of no study and reading, just search and pick that as the answer. This fast food consumption of whatever they see or most of the news websites carry the same or similar content will more likely be the true story. This will be the problem in the long run. The person will be kept exposed to the biased information and build up their understanding for the certain event and incident, and interpret it with the wrong factual information they are depending on for them to come out with the interpretation, believe, thinking and action.

Locked down the main page so only certain editors can make changes as a way to combat potential disinformation and abuses that worked in the previous time, is now under the challenge. When the editors are under the threat of the national state or offer incentive to favour one perspective over another. What the better resolution is we all want to see in the near future.
