Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing.

If I had some information, the last thing I would ever do with it is send it to Wikileaks.

The goal is to give people a free encyclopedia to every person in the world, in their own language. Not just in a 'free beer' kind of way, but also in the free speech kind of way.

I think people have to recognise that the traditional modes of authority weren't that great.

People do fun and interesting things because they're fun and interesting.

One of the ways that Microsoft beat Apple way back in the day was that they were a lot more open; today, in the world I come from, the free software and open-source world, Microsoft is not generally viewed as open; they're viewed as proprietary.

What can we put into the hands of people under oppressive regimes to help them? For me, a big part of it is information, knowledge - the ability to defeat propaganda by understanding it.
