I do not want to sound authoritarian or against freedom of expression, but the Goodreads scandal shows the weaknesses of crowd-sourced material.

Aside from the bombing scandal, Goodreads has long been a rave site for high school students who could not follow the plot of a Jane Austen novel nor relate to her characters. "Nuff said."
