Sanger highlights the "crazy" policy that prevents the actual subjects of articles—such as Barack Obama or Donald Trump—from correcting their own pages. He recounts his own resignation from Wikipedia in 2002 after the parent company, Bombis, could no longer pay him, leading him to become a leading critic of the project. He argues that the platform's refusal to accept primary sources from the subjects themselves is a fundamental flaw in its pursuit of truth.
