A lot of for profit companies have been threatening to do the same. Facebook, Google, etc.
Political Super Pacs are non-profit. Being non-profit doesn't automatically make you some saintly, only-do-good organization.
It's like Google and Facebook, they want to have this friendly image despite the fact they sell everyone's information 10X over, not to mention working with law enforcement in ways that violate privacy. Any group with power will eventually abuse it, but for some reason people think all these internet companies are different.
BTW, from Wikipedia's own mission statement:

Wikipedia "is written from a neutral point of view." The site strives to "avoid advocacy, and we characterize information and issues rather than debate them."
