The last CEO of Wikimedia Foundation was ex Mckinsey, the current CEO was a senior advisor at the US National Security Council. Can we maybe stop having these sorts of people in charge of our commons?

    Do we need to have a CEO of Wikipedia? Can we maybe just not?

  • @liaizon@social.wake.st The reply (x2 via zendesk, see my profile name) to my donation cancellation reads like the comms team at Walmart. Smells like a CEO relationship to Wikipedia to me.

    @liaizon@social.wake.st Eh....Boy have you got a weird read on that one. Unless you have evidence or proof to the contrary what that actually means is a free speech advocate is in a position to advise government about classification standards.

    @liaizon@social.wake.st If someone needs to be in charge, pick someone whose career has been with libraries. Not a corporate shill or a spook.
