That that person, if they are sourcing and sort of writing about a leader in potentially a negative light in the interest of including the totality of what they've done or who they are, that they would be at risk of dying.

So in that case, I could see a benefit for that person being anonymous.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Right.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

That's interesting.

Camp Gagnon

Yeah, you'd even mentioned, I think, in your conversation with Tucker that there were some entries from Langley.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Yes.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

At one point.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

And probably still to this day.

Camp Gagnon

Langley obviously being the head of the CIA headquarters.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Right.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

That the CIA itself as an intelligence operation is sort of changing the narrative and changing facts about specific articles.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Which to me is like, all right, yeah, that makes sense.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

I imagine that every intelligence... They're not doing their job if they don't do that, I suppose, right?

Camp Gagnon

And they should have their own entry perhaps, or they should have the ability to continue to edit?

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Yeah, it seems like a difficult task because the point of being a spy is that no one knows you're a spy.

Camp Gagnon

So I can understand the nobility and the desire to want to eradicate any type of foreign intelligence to change it.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

But to me, I'm like, I don't, perhaps I'm resigned and perhaps I'm nihilistic, but I think that's an inevitability of the platform is that as so long as you allow people to edit, you're going to have foreign agents or even internal agents with sort of spy agendas to do it.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

I see.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Now, just to go through the rest of these quickly.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Sure, sure.
