citing sources such as ... "traditional news media", right?

Wikis are unsuitable for anything contentious. Wikis are the solution to the problem of crowdsourcing objective facts, what makes them great is that anyone can add a few (even very obscure) ones; on anything contentious there are way too many, not too few, people wanting to write about them, making the wiki a solution to a nonexistent problem. This news story is yet another example of this.

... and hardly anything is more contentious than Israel/Palestine, which is why wikis work least well for articles on that.

Kind of a non-story that whitehouse.gov is completely redesigned (and pages added and removed) when there is a new president, has happened every time so far.

doesn't have to be for long, just as long as it's making the situation better

You can control the platform, so long as "the platform" means only your own instance. I have tabs open right now to both reddit.com and discuss.tchncs.de and the only difference as far as "control" is concerned is that here I can read posts by users, and from communities, that are registered elsewhere than discuss.tchncs.de too, the operators of the latter still otherwise have the same "control" as those as of reddit.

Who is General Error and how did he get on my hard drive?

If the links in the article are accurate, this doesn't seem to be a "law", but this thing: https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/code-practice-disinformation

Anyone know more about it than I could quickly find? Is this in any way legally enforceable?

Obviously, I believe that governments have no legitimate business whatsoever telling us on the Internet what we can talk about, say to each other, etc.; but I would still like to know more about this particular attempt by the EU to do so anyway, so would appreciate more information.
