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." pic.twitter.com/Ved9mgGvJH

She's not really
saying anything 
here. Maybe the full clip has a better 
representation of her overall point 
but I will not be looking 
for it.
“Free and open” doesn't have anything
to do with how an online 
encyclopedia is organized. An online 
encyclopedia could be based 
around old wives tales and “things my great 
grand pappy used to say” . And that encyclopedia could be "free and open". Anyone could add in any sort of neat ancestral knowledge 
that they thought 
would 
help folx. But thats not how Wikipedia was setup.
