Thanks, I haven't been donating to WP but did not know all of that either (apart from the Google employees who are mentioned and linked already in the conversations referenced in this thread).

1 million doesn't even seem that much, but still, yes, nobody knows what donations actually mean behind the scenes (who believes in philantropy anyway?)

I mean, it's clear how much Google and others profit from WP and especially Wikidata already.

But does this mean they control the platform?
