Maybe it's this tweet: https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1780929268949614848

From the tweet:

EXCLUSIVE: Katherine Maher says that she abandoned a "free and open" internet as the mission of Wikipedia, because those principles recapitulated a "white male Westernized construct" and "did not end up living into the intentionality of what openness can be."

There is a video of her speaking, which I find hard to translate.

Thank you for the link. Now I have enough to form an opinion about her.

Totally. She seems really thoughtful and aware of how absolute freedom (anarchy) just leads to a situation where implicit power structures are created by those who get there first. Hope she and others keep doing good work to ensure that the site lives up to its goal, to catalog all knowledge, not just the knowledge that's easy to catalog.

It seems a bit worrying to me as a frequent user of Wikipedia. I like a "free and open" internet.

We formed completely different opinions. And that's fine.
