Right, and Wikipedia leadership is free of any conflicts of interest:
During and after her Wikimedia role, Maher drew fire for statements perceived as rejecting objective truth or Wikipedia’s traditional “free and open” model:
• In a 2021 TED Talk, she described reverence for truth as potentially a “distraction” hindering common ground.
• She called Wikipedia’s free-and-open ethos a “white male Westernized construct” that excluded diverse communities.
