How do you view Wikipedia and Wikimedia Foundation’s relationships with the major platforms — Google, Facebook, and so on. How would you characterize it?
For the most part, we grew up independently from most of the major platforms that dominate today. If you look around the biggest ones, we predate, I think, all of them but Google. At least of the ones that trade in knowledge and information. We were created for a very different purpose at a different time. The web that we came into actually had a number of larger collaborative, non-commercialized early projects, some of which still exist, and some of which don’t, that were more community-driven.

- 1) "We’ve lost control of our personal data"; 2) "It’s too easy for misinformation to spread on the web"; 3) "Political advertising online needs transparency and understanding"
- We must work together with web companies to strike a balance that puts a fair level of data control back in the hands of people.
- We must fight against government over-reach in surveillance laws, including through the courts if necessary.
- We must push back against misinformation. We urgently need to close the “internet blind spot” in the regulation of political campaigning.
