    The Budapest memorandum! Fun stuff. Instead of all of us arguing, I recommend for people to read:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum#Content

    I can really see why it is that some people have a hard-on for trying to destroy Wikipedia. A lot of the misery that’s been washing over the world for the last 10 years or so is because they’ve developed really incredibly powerful tools for unmooring people’s perceptions of reality from what the actual reality is, and Wikipedia is starting to stick out as a trusted source of truth, as the others fall and crumble one by one.

        The “we will protect you” part. Where did you see that? There’s actually a specific discussion about it (talking about “security guarantee” and “security assurance”, because it was debated at the time) and what the outcome was.
