Confirmation? How is a random post by some angry white dude confirmation of anything? Everything he said is biased alt-right talking points, not to mention completely false. That's the stuff that Wikipedia is trying to weed out. It's doing fine without your input, thanks.

As a Wikipedia editor, I can tell you with 100% confidence that even being boring, Wikipedia has still attracted the worst of humanity. It's sometimes a huge fight to keep their BS off of articles like Holocaust denial, or the pages of the new white supremacists, etc. But it does get done. It's not a perfect system, and it needs more people to stand up and help, because those same misinformation warriors are there.

Oh will you please stfu.

There's obvious limits to the First Amendment, like yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater - do you have a problem with that?

A media platform is subject to even less stringent rules about what they can ban or not, but banning Holocaust denial is a no-brainer. Unless you're a Holocaust denialist, I suppose. In that case, I guess you have a right to be upset. Let us know how that works out for you.
