This is coming from Glenn Greenwald, a known Putin shill, so all this could mean is the efforts to maintain truth on Wikipedia, since Ruzzia and her allies worldwide (including the American Republican party, or at least the ‘MAGA’ portion) constantly seek to obfuscate the truth and alter articles critical of them, their positions, their narratives.
Now I’m not saying there isn’t a shred of truth, there usually is with shills like Greenwald, so I’m sure the US and their allies are actively involved in doing something similar, but nobody lies like the current Ruzzian regime and their allies, their people are so misinformed and propagandized that they wouldn’t know the truth if it smacked them over the head.

Thank you for the sources. Greenwald is so far right and has gone so far off the deep end of conspiracy theory stuff that it really doesn’t make sense to believe anything he says.
he’s a journalist. if you don’t like what he prints, you might ask yourself why.
Ok.
To assume the truth of something only based on profession or historical accomplishments is an appeal to authority fallacy.
Done.
“He’s a journalist!” So?
“He once exposed this great story!” So?
Neither are actual arguments of the truth of current statements.
Wow so both Ruzzia and Amerikkka edit Wikipedia for propaganda purposes. 🤯
American intelligence agencies are just fighting back with truth not propaganda 😉
“Glenn Greenwald, a known Putin shill”
A yes, Snowden and everyone involved are simply Russian shills!
I am shocked! The CIA and the FBI? The bastions of liberty and justice?
They Grayzone has also done investigative reporting into the inner workings of Wikipedia. Spoiler: it’s part of the imperial propaganda machine, and that’s partly by design.
One of the stories censored by the FBI on Twitter was the scandal surrounding the laptop of Hunter Biden, son of the current US president, revealing incriminating emails alleging corrupt acts committed by President Biden. At the request of US authorities, this story was silenced by all available means within the platform, according to documents released by Musk.
These documents also revealed that Twitter assisted the US military in online propaganda campaigns and censorship of “anti-Ukrainian [NATO] narratives” at the request of various US state agencies.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also admitted that Facebook, at the direct request of the FBI, censored information that would have been damaging to President Joe Biden’s 2020 election campaign.
“I am immune to propaganda”
Unsurprising
