Role In Wikipedia

To the best of my knowledge, I was first described as co-founder of Wikipedia back in September 2001 by The New York Times. That was also my description in Wikipedia’s own press releases from 2002 until 2004. With my increasing distance from the project, and as it grew in the public eye, however, some of those associated with the project have found it convenient to downplay and even deny my crucial, formative involvement. In fact, in the early years of the project, my role as co-founder was not in dispute at all. These links have come to light, and they should dispel much of the confusion.

If the 2nd Amendment doesn’t protect “assault weapons” and “high-capacity clips” (because the Founding Fathers ostensibly couldn’t have conceived of them) then neither does the 1st Amendment protect the electrostatic printing press or broadcast or digital media.
