Jimmy Wales

These days, I think you have to at least do a little bit of contingency planning and think these things through.

I don't think there's any imminent threat, but crazy times happen.

Yeah.

So I think this is a problem.

We've been fortunate that people are widely aware these days that like just seeing a photo.

Actually, I think it was a really important and positive moment.

There was a very famous photo of Pope Francis wearing an expensive puffer jacket.

And it went viral and got a lot of news coverage because it's like obviously fake.

Like this is Pope Francis was quite famously.

He didn't take advantage of any of the luxury.

Like he lived in a dorm room.

and that sort of thing.

He wouldn't be my first choice of a pope who goes in for the grandiosity of the office, right?

But people knew that and they're like, oh, wow, it really looks real.

And that's important that people should know.

Just because you see something floating across social media, that doesn't mean it's true.

And I hope it's actually pushing people in the direction of saying,

Actually, I do care about old school journalism.

Like, I want to know where that photo came from.

Is it from a trustworthy news organization?
