Richard Desmond in legal battle with Wikipedia over term ‘pornographer’

Former owner of Asian Babes and Readers' Wives has hired lawyers to demand Wikipedia remove word from bio

Richard Desmond, the billionaire former owner of adult television channels and top-shelf magazines, has spent years having his Wikipedia edited in a failed attempt to remove any suggestion he is a pornographer".

The former owner of the Daily Express and Channel 5, and one of Britain's richest men, appears to have become fixated with his biography on the open-source encyclopedia. To this end, an account operating on behalf of Desmond has repeatedly edited the article to replace the description of him as a pornographer" with the term philanthropist".
