It seems to be a whole article series on harassment. This more recent
part actually mentions Wikipedia, in a positive way:

"Companies may also be holding important knowledge back. Market
researchers and platform employees sometimes tell Lenhart privately
that they have findings on her research questions but aren’t allowed
to share them. Rather than advancing knowledge on public wellbeing,
companies worry about sharing unflattering results. While many
platforms share detailed data with researchers about copyright
complaints, only Wikipedia shares survey information on the kinds of
harassment its users report. This week, the Guardian became the first
platform to publish behavioural data about abuse in Guardian
comments."

Guardian article "We will look back at
cyber-harassment as a disgrace--if we
act now", by Danielle Citron.
Excerpt:
"Whether it is thanks to commercial interests or social responsibility, some
online platforms have taken a stand against cyber-harassment. Social media
providers, including Facebook, Microsoft, and Twitter, now ban threats,
cyber-harassment, and non-consensual pornography....
"Companies should be clear about their policies. They need to explain what
they mean by “cyber-harassment”, “non-consensual pornography”, “threats” and
“bullying”. Users will then have a better understanding of precisely what is
and what is not prohibited. Platforms should explain whether content will be
taken down or what the next step would be."
No mention of Wikipedia.
