It's the largest free platform for open access information and has to be vetted 24/7. If there's one place that probably should have white knights, it's Wikipedia.

That being said, if you properly set a new category under Controversies and sited everything correctly, it'd probably be fine. Not just willy nilly thrown on the first paragraph.

We did in fact just let it happen. We're the leading global model for selling unfettered capitalism and muffling the downsides, mainly by dumbing down and dividing the populace to drown out dissent. Smart dissenters/organizers often get targeted, and indifference/defeatism is encouraged. Our power is in numbers, and each of us must make a gut check on how much we're willing to put on the line to do something about it. Going straight for a gun is a great way to get taken out. We need to learn how to successfully push back: https://beautifultrouble.org/

AFAIK Swift's attorney is Douglas Baldridge, who previously worked for the D.C.-based law firm law firm Venable.
