Wikipedia co-founder blasts successor Katherine Maher, says NPR should 'let her go right away'
Fox News
Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger is urging NPR to purge its CEO, former Wikimedia chief Katherine Maher, for her past comments being critical of a "free and open" internet.
In one clip Rufo shared Thursday morning, Maher criticized Wikipedia's founding mission of being "free and open," something she said ended up "recapitulating" power structures and how its content was based on the "White male Westernized construct."

"For the ex-CEO of Wikipedia to say that it was somehow a mistake for Wikipedia to be ‘free and open,’ that it led to bad consequences—my jaw is on the floor," Sanger told Rufo in an interview on Thursday. "I can’t say I’m terribly surprised that she thinks it, but I am surprised that she would say it."
