I'm _not_ claiming that Wikipedia has or doesn't have unpopular opinions. I'm making a distinction between the legal framework in which Wikipedia exists (they _can_ publish unpopular or controversial speech) and what Wikipedia does (they intend not to express their own opinions at all; whether you believe they succeed is immaterial).

OP was conflating the two, but Wikipedia has no obligation or principle to be a platform for free speech. It's completely irrelevant.




Ah, I get it. I think the OP was referring not to the legal definition of free speech, but rather to the spirit of it.
