Where to begin here? Ugh.

So many lies, half-truths and omissions. As usual with Jimbo.

"Most businesses, not just charities like us, would say you have to be really, really careful if you're going to put at the heart of your business a technology that's controlled by someone else because if they go in a different direction, your whole business may be at risk," he said.

Yeah, don't fuck up repeatedly--like Jimmy Wales did. People's Operator, anyone? Quora, anyone? And how's the Jimmy Wales Foundation going? Not good, is it? What about WikiTribune? What about Bomis and all the attempted spinoffs?

To create a gender balance and combat disinformation, Wikipedia has its own army of "Wikipedians" who are mostly male volunteer editors. Wales said that Wikipedians can see the difference between fake websites and can easily tell if the text was written by a human.

HA HA HA HA what a bunch of shit. No "Gender Balance" has ever resulted and it never will.

Have a prediction: IT WILL FAIL. Because he will pack it with his friends and camp followers, they will act like paranoid little dictators, money will bleed away, and no one will hang around to use it.

\If you look at Davies' Muckrack listing, you find that this article was translated into numerous languages and spread far and wide. Double ugh.
