Part 8/12:
The fight against misinformation extends into digital spaces like Wikipedia, where editors regularly battle to maintain the integrity of historical records. The Ferdinand Marcos Sr. Wikipedia page, for example, is a battleground marked by frequent edits—more than 376 annually—aimed at either sanitizing or exposing the darker aspects of his presidency.
Activists, including Josh Lim of the Wiki Society of the Philippines, participate in "edit wars" to ensure that the article remains a truthful resource. Their work involves reverting vandalism and contentious edits that downplay atrocities or portray Marcos as a victim of circumstance.
