Remember when Wikipedia caused a moral panic similar to the one sparked by ChatGPT?

In case you don’t, here is an op-ed from 2010: Teachers: Please stop prohibiting the use of Wikipedia ChatGPT.

Here is a list of news articles from 2007 and 2008 about educational institutions, teachers, and librarians banning the use of Wikipedia from…where else, Wikipedia.

As Twitter slips into the dustbin, as Substack puzzles over whether promoting Nazis is good business, and as venture capital creates great social media platforms and then enshittifies them, let’s remember Wikipedia.
