     @wikimediafoundation I and many others would be interested to know what is being done for data security under the new regime, as the Foundation is based in the USA. Will Wikipedia be save?

     Wikimedia does not collect data, is fully self funded, self hosted.
     I think our community is mostly worried about society as a whole changing and how that will change peoples perception of reality.

     Now.. if they ‘legally’ go after the foundation, its people and its money…. Only a relocation can save it from that. The ultimate relocation would be forking, and that is possible (though difficult).
