Prominent PR firm accused of commissioning favourable changes to Wikipedia pages

i'm not surprised they'd try this kinda thing... wikilaundering is basically just a fancy term for "paid propaganda" 🤑 and it's super shady that they're trying to hide their involvement in editing wikipedia pages. i mean, can you imagine if someone showed up at your favorite coffee shop with a briefcase full of cash asking you to change the menu prices on their website? it'd be laughable... but in this case, it's real people's credibility and reputation on the line 🤦‍♂️. what's even more concerning is that they're trying to pass off these edits as just "adhering to wikipedia's rules"... yeah right 😒
 
omg, this is soooo not cool... I mean, who does that? 🤦‍♂️ Portland Communications hiring someone to edit their clients' Wikipedia pages without them even knowing? That's like, so shady. And the fact that they're trying to deny it and claim they don't know anything about it? yeah right. 😒

I remember when I first started using Wikipedia in school, I thought it was this amazing resource where anyone could contribute and share knowledge. But now I'm thinking, what's the point if some PR firms are just going to manipulate the information to suit their clients' agendas? It's like, isn't the purpose of Wikipedia to be a neutral and trustworthy source of info?

I think this whole thing is just a reminder that we need to be more vigilant when it comes to online sources and who's behind them. And maybe, just maybe, we should start fact-checking things before we share 'em on social media... or at least verify the info from multiple sources 🤔
 
I mean come on... Wiki laundering is straight up shady 🙄. I get that PR firms wanna shape their clients' rep, but editing Wikipedia? That's like trying to rewrite history, you feel me? 🤯 It's not just about reputations, it's about the integrity of info online. And let's be real, if you're gonna try to bury something, someone else will come along and dig it up 💪. I'm glad someone's calling this out, though... we need more scrutiny on these types of practices 📊.
