But could you actually get any money from suing Wikipedia? They would just deflect blame to volunteer editors.

Why do you think facebook is ending fact-checkers now? Editors are hired by facebook, facebook is the publisher. If facebook publishes "fact" and people get harmed as result, Facebook gets sued to bankruptcy. There is no protection from government anymore!

Wikipedia is just a platform, it is not a publisher. Facebook was the publisher!

Suing Wikipedia would be like suing email and SMTP protocol!

You can not sue Wikipedia. You could sue facebook.
