Description: Wikipedia, "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit," went from being a weird online experiment 21 years ago to one of the mainstays of the modern internet with astonishing speed. Reason spoke with Wikipedia's founder, Jimmy Wales, who was predictably modest about what he got right. A key ingredient to Wikipedia's success is its high degree of decentralization. In this clip, they talk about battling online misinformation, the issue of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly and broken incentive models of social media platforms. Interview by Katherine Mangu-Ward; edited by Adam Czarnecki. #Wikipedia #JimmyWales Check out the full episode, licensed under creative common: youtube.com/watch?v=N1Qm_7ywzH0
