Wikipedia's BIG Problem: Larry Sanger Explains

Larry Sanger, the co-founder of Wikipedia, joins Finding Freedom to discuss his groundbreaking “Nine Theses,” the most ambitious reform plan ever proposed for the world’s largest encyclopedia. In this episode, Sanger explains how Wikipedia drifted from its original neutrality principles and became dominated by a narrow ideological viewpoint, enforced through source blacklists, anonymous leadership, and a broken consensus model.

Sanger outlines his blueprint for restoring transparency, accountability, and true neutrality on a platform used by billions — and increasingly relied upon by AI systems like ChatGPT and Google Gemini. Sanger argues that reforming Wikipedia is essential not only for political balance, but for the future of global knowledge itself.
