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!

What a nice reality would it be where Facbook could be actually sued to bankruptcy for whatever reason, let alone such minor one. Sadly it's not our reality.
In the U.S. (relevant because it is home to the Wikimedia Foundation), you can sue anyone for any reason at any time. You might get immediately dismissed, sued back ("abuse of process" or similar), or something along those lines, but there is nothing structural that stops you.
The structural reason that you can't sue email is that email is not an "anyone", it's an abstract concept. How would you even e.g. notify "email" that it is under litigation?
