The Supreme Court has held that code is speech. And it doesn't matter that it's done on a computer or done face to face or done in a newspaper, reporting the facts of the world is protected speech.

I have always viewed the mission of Wikipedia to be much bigger than just creating a killer website. We're doing that of course, and having a lot of fun doing it, but a big part of what motivates us is our larger mission to affect the world in a positive way
Jimmy Wales
The core of Wikipedia is something people really believe in. That is too valuable for the world to screw it up.
Jimmy Wales
People take issue with individual aspects of Wikipedia all the time. But it's kind of hard to hate the general idea of a free encyclopedia. It's like hating kittens.
Jimmy Wales
I'm on it pretty much all the time. I edit Wikipedia every day, I'm on Facebook, I'm on Twitter, I'm reading the news. During one of the US elections, I actually went through my computer and I blocked myself from looking at the major newspaper sites and Google News because I wasn't getting any work done.
Jimmy Wales
It's kind of surprising that you could just open up a site and let people work.
Jimmy Wales
It turns out a lot of people don't get it. Wikipedia is like rock'n'roll it's a cultural shift.
Jimmy Wales
Mostly, I try to take a rational approach to life.
Jimmy Wales
People are not fundamentally bad. It only takes the smallest of correctives to take care of that tiny minority that wants to disrupt the community.
Jimmy Wales
I have zero interest in sports of any kind - professional, college or international.
Jimmy Wales
Simply having rules does not change the things that people want to do. You have to change incentive.
Jimmy Wales
People do fun and interesting things because they're fun and interesting.
Jimmy Wales
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.
Jimmy Wales
I can't do anything quietly anymore.
Jimmy Wales
There's kind of this real social pressure to not argue about things.
Jimmy Wales
