💬 Over the next few months, we will be developing a position paper and hosting a series of regional dialogues in order to gather diverse perspectives to help us define the future of the digital commons.

🌐 The Wikimedia Foundation and the @okfn.bsky.social are working on a joint initiative to rethink open knowledge as critical digital infrastructure (CDI), receiving the same strategic attention and investment as essential public services such as water or electricity.

📚🍃 What happens to knowledge that is not remembered? What systems should we build to protect information and cultural assets from being lost to climate disasters or war? How can governments and institutions invest in local digital knowledge commons to prevent representation gaps in new tech like AI?

A Shared Path: Reinventing an Internet in Latin America that Serves People, not Power For more than thirty years, the digital rights movement in Latin America was driven by the promise of a free, open, and secure internet…

Read our blog to learn about the six shared principles that we believe will help align regional needs with a global vision of open, people-driven technology: wikimediapolicy.medium.com/a-shared-pat...

💡The goal of the group was simple yet challenging: to move from merely resisting setbacks to actively proposing the future of the internet we want. CELE (@celeup.bsky.social), the Wikimedia Foundation, and the EFF (@eff.org) have gathered the collective discussions and conclusions into one place.

🌎During a Zero Day Workshop, held as part of the Centro de Estudios en Libertad de Expresión’s (CELE) annual “Towards a Free Internet” event, digital rights groups across Latin America came together to imagine a “digital utopia.”

🌐As early optimism about the promise of a free, open, and secure internet is met with the current realities of techlash, surveillance, monopolies, and rising censorship, how do we preserve that initial vision and take practical steps to advance it?

🤔 What does an internet that truly works for the public good look like?

🌐 The Wayback Machine helps to archive the history of the web, which is critical for @wikipedia.org: without it, link rot erodes the verifiability of information online.

Why the Open Knowledge Movement and Public Interest Journalism Must Unite Forces Open knowledge and public interest journalism must unite to defend reliable information, protect democracy, and sustain the open internet

Public interest journalism and open knowledge are indivisible, challenged by AI-powered platforms that extract content without compensation or attribution.

Across 300+ languages, volunteers have written and refined over 65 million articles, helping readers find context, learn, and understand the world.

Here’s to 25 years of free knowledge, built by a volunteer community for everyone ➡️ 25.wikipedia.org

Twenty-five years ago, Wikipedia was an unlikely idea: a place where anyone could share free knowledge.

Today, it’s one of the most visited sites on Earth, not powered by corporate ads, but by people.

Jan Gerlach, Public Policy Director at the Wikimedia Foundation, talks to the audience from the stage at the General Assembly hall.

Wikidataians celebrate Wikidata being recognised as a Digital Public Good

Every day, thousands of editors on #Wikidata provide open, reliable and trustworthy data to the world helping make technology more open and inclusive.

Today, we are thrilled to announce that Wikidata has been recognized by the @DPGAlliance as a #DigitalPublicGood.

#Wikidata has been recognized as a digital public good! Wikidata is always the mostly-invisible powerhouse in the background, so this is especially meaningful to me and a great recognition of the work that thousands of people put into structuring the world’s knowledge every single day.
