Here’s a video of NPR’s new CEO Katherine Maher, who used to run Wikimedia (which hosts Wikipedia), talking about how the crowdsourced online encyclopedia lacks a diversity of contributors and history when it comes to women and transgender pretenders.
She complains that it’s mostly written by males.
Watch below:
NPR CEO Katherine Maher, former head of Wikimedia Foundation, says Wikipedia lacks sufficient representation from non-binary and transgender contributors. This imbalance, combined with an overrepresentation of male contributors, causes bias.

Here’s another good one where Maher claims the First Amendment is a huge obstacle to censorship (not in a good way):
EXCLUSIVE: Katherine Maher says the "the number one challenge" in her fight against disinformation is "the First Amendment in the United States," which makes it "a little bit tricky" to censor "bad information" and "the influence peddlers" who spread it.
