Fandom: Freedom to Edit or Lack of Regulation?
Introduction Fandom hosts thousands of wikis covering a wide range of topics, but its licensing system is problematic.

Key Criticisms The ability to freely edit content under CC BY-SA licenses creates several risks:

Authors lack copyright protection for their work.

Content can be edited without rigorous criteria, reducing the reliability of information.

Insufficient moderation to verify the accuracy of changes.

Conclusion Fandom should introduce more balanced management policies between freedom to share and copyright protection, preventing the system from overly favoring uncontrolled editing.
