Wikipedia 'breeding' paedophiles ANI, Jun 28, 2010, 12.00pm IST
Del.icio.us Facebook Tags:Pedophiles|Wikipedia|encyclopaediaWikipedia has become a home base for a worldwide network of paedophiles WASHINGTON: An investigation has revealed that Wikipedia has become a home base for a worldwide network of paedophiles.
According to the investigation, paedophiles are campaigning on the famous online encyclopaedia and are trying to lure more and more people.
Chat room posts on Wikipedia are used by pedophiles to further their agenda. Message board posts often include links to specific Wikipedia articles that the participants say need to be edited to "normalise" paedophile behavior in the public eye and to recruit more paedophiles into their community.
"Paedophiles have campaigned to push their point of view that 'pedophilia is OK and doesn't hurt children' on Wikipedia. This has been a problem since Wikipedia started," Fox News quoted Xavier Von Erck, director of Perverted Justice Foundation and Wikisposure.com, as saying.
However, Sue Gardner, executive director of Wikimedia Foundation, Wikipedia's parent organisation, said in a statement, "Wikipedia has a long-held, zero-tolerance policy towards paedophilia or paedophilia advocacy and child pornography. The Wikimedia community is vigilant about identifying and deleting any such material. Any allegations to the contrary are outrageous and false."
The article on paedophilia on the website, in its suggestions for further reading, suggests other Wikipedia pages edited by pedophiles, including "Child Sexuality," and "NAMBLA," a page about the North American Man/Boy Love Association. That page links directly to NAMBLA's website, as do 25 other Wikipedia pages.
