Thanks for sharing, nothing groundbreaking, but the general principle is there. Modern internet is all about freedom, and sharing, access to info and so own, Wikipedia is a great example of how progressive internet could be. Then there's Facebook that will go miles to access users data, and Trump is tweeting nonsense. I get why people are angry with the state of internet atm.

You mean the wikipedia where a few super users dominate the discussion and delete the rest?
I'm not sure Wikipedia is as "progressive" you think it is.

Wikipedia is really poorly governed. Past admins say that the most common solution to any dispute is the "status quo". They just hope that problems go away. That's not progress.
