More blog responses about the situation. I guess Fox News has the ability to give stories legs.
Apparently when Wikipedians post child pornography Mr. Walsh considers them to be mere users of an interactive computer service, while if any Wikipedians feels inclined to overcome the inertia of a laissez-faire libertarian environment of Wikipedia and remove such images they are "volunteers" who act with the blessing of WMF, at least this week. I don't remember him saying so during the
Virgin Killer incident. Then the people defending the child pornography were "volunteer spoke-persons." Walsh's concept of
respondeat superior is flexible and convenient. I wonder if his rate of compensation as a spokesperson varies depending on which side of his mouth is speaking.
