Recently in the news Elon Musk was making public attacks against the foundation and Donald Trump has been shown numerous times over the years to attack the free press to seek revenge on perceived “enemies” like by setting up frivolous lawsuits against them.
They could use their $100 million endowment to set up shop in Denmark to be free of political meddling as their society is much more stable, as there’s less polarization and their politicians face more accountability.
Jimmy Wales and the board would likely have to setup shop else to protect the world’s knowledge. I hope they got an escape plan ready.
I don’t want them to move to Denmark. I want them to move to Greenland. I feel like that’s more spiteful than just moving to Denmark, and I’m all for anything spiteful that happens to Trump and his followers.
The total size of Wikipedia is 26 TB. It’s trivial to move. The global CDN services do the heavy lifting of caching the content. The real problem is the Trump suing and censoring Wikipedia such that US citizens wouldn’t have access.
Its seriously only 26 tb? That’s like, 2 large hard drives. The network equipment to run that big a site costs more than storage lol
Yeah, and they aren’t lacking for cash. I think last time I looked it up, they had enough funding to run the site for well over the next nine decades, despite the lavish paychecks they give their executives.
They still ask you for pocket change every year, though.
After finding out that they redonated the money I donated to them to other not for profits, I decided not to ever donate to them again until they agreed to not do that.
I’m sure they were very good not for profit organizations that needed the money, but I’m kind of annoyed By them doing this.
such that US citizens wouldn’t have access
Is it a problem if you’re moving out of the USA? Let them clean their mess, no need to impact the rest of the world. That’s a basic safety rule in that case.
Yeah, Denmark might be a good place for them to go, too, just given how reticent they already are to kowtow to anything the U.S. might want given the ongoing Greenland debacle.
