Wikipedia bans Daily Mail as 'unreliable' source
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/feb/08/wikipedia-bans-daily-mail-as-unreliable-source-for-website
Wikipedia editors have voted to ban the Daily Mail as a source for the website in all but exceptional circumstances after deeming the news group 'generally unreliable'. The move is highly unusual for the online website, which rarely puts in place a blanket ban on publications and which still allows links to sources such as Kremlin backed news organisation Russia Today, and Fox News, both of which have raised concern among editors.
It has been the issue of fake news that has turned institutions into issues as pressure groups and Government force pressure on them. It has meant that users are becoming less gullible and begin to question the news they are given just like with the Daily Mail. Other institutions could be at risk of being pressured and facing consequences on their actions just like most social networking sites - Facebook noticeably.
