  12. När ledare i projekt som drivs i form av tusentals frivilliga och ett fåtal anställda hämtas från storföretagen innebär det att det som är bra med dessa projekt och ger dem trovärdighet utsätts för risken att bli förstört och korrumperat.

  23. I'm on a roll of getting #LT3 out on an actual Thursday 👍

    This week we look at why the Wikipedia Foundation's latest actions are making people nervous.

    Also:
    - Labour's move to ban social media for under 16s in the UK,
    - Meta looking to charge you for using certain WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram features,
    - and of course we check in on Pope Leo.
