Well, shit. The one nonprofit I trusted. :(

Where should my annual $3 charity budget go, now?!

But also, didn’t Greenwald go for a too long of a walk into conspiracyland?

Linux foundation

Don’t they have some wacky takes regarding the Ukraine conflict and overall work with the Yankee MoD?

but more seriously regardless, wikipedia makes a ton of money from public grants and for their role helping the NSA and other federal agencies. I don’t understand why they keep asking random people for money when they really, really don’t need it. My theory is that because Jimmy Wales is a weird Ayn Rand libertarian, he wants to make it seem as if his model of an “encyclopedia the common man can edit” works.

Pretty sure Ayn Rand lived off of welfare while advocating against it, so it fits

Makes sense. Wiki recently removed the article about the Alley of Angels memorial dedicated to children in Donetsk murdered by Ukrainian fascists. If anyone hadn’t heard about that. The west is framing that memorial as a Russian plant to justify the war.

I mean, not surprising. US, China, Russia, and other super powers, probably have their agencies on it.

So your justification is that it’s okay since other countries are probably™ doing it?

Did I say it was fine? I said I’m not surprised.

you guys are either bots or on a payroll. Whenever some negative news about the CIA is posted, there’s always a comment saying it’s ok because China and Russia are worse.

I said “probably”. But considering that Russia has troll farms to spread bs on social networks and China is constantly trying to hack stuff in order to spy (and even Huawei products have shady backdoors in them), I wouldn’t be surprised that they’re doing the same.

Guys is it normal that Katherine Maher was CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation, and subsequently joined The Atlantic Council, and currently serves on the US Department of State’s Foreign Affairs Policy Board?
