EPO People Power - Part VII - The Corporate Media and the Reference Sites (e.g. Wikipedia) Are Already Compromised and Complicit
Last year: Spiked Piece/Censored Piece: 'Microsoft Copilot is a gimmick', says top CIO

Earlier today we wrote about how the EPO 'intercepts' media or press criticism, aside from SLAPPs. To repeat what we said in part V: "So my guess his, someone above him blocked publication."
The BBC speaks a lot about SLAPPs these days, due to its own experience.
A reader asked, "didn't the BBC used to spike a lot of articles related to either EPO or software patents?"
"It might be relevant to bring that up yet again in Part VI," he said.
Well, we've waited for part VII to bring this up.
In 2015 I published: How the EPO Twisted Defamation Law in a Failed Bid to Silence Techrights
In 2020 I then (much later) published: Raw: How Microsoft and/or the EPO Killed an Important EPO Story About Their SLAPP Against Techrights and Others
Looking back at the whole thing, it's clear to me that Europe does not really have free press. A lot of "news" is paid-for spam (which is considered 'safer' than reporting crime). We covered a couple of examples yesterday. We also showed that Wikipedia is profoundly compromised by now. Don't look for information about the EPO (or any EPO-related topic) in Wikipedia because you already knows who writes, adds, edits, censors and guards those Wikipedia pages. █
