Just to be clear, this content isn't from Stanford per se, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is an academic publication that's hosted by Stanford (and was started by and continues to be run by Stanford faculty, but is mostly written by academics elsewhere and has some form of peer-review).

Some SEP articles are extremely high quality, I can't speak to the quality of this one but "philosophy of CS" as construed here feels pretty niche inside philosophy. There's lots of CS-related work being done by people in philosophy departments—algorithmic fairness, for example—that isn't covered by this article.

I would add that independent of quality, any article on the SEP is closer to a literature review than a comprehensive, rigorous treatment of the topic at hand.
