Nigam, who is co-chairman of President Obama's Online Safety Technology Group and sits on the board of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, said it's not that complicated. "Almost every other social networking site has taken steps to clean up their sites, except for Wikipedia," he said.

Nigam said Wikipedia is making a conscious choice to abandon its responsibility by hosting an online haven for pedophiles.

“It’s nothing more than a company that is choosing to ignore the worst kind of exploitation in the world,” he said.

As a friend commented to me, that should have been in the article lede.

Indeed, if this person actually has significant authority in the Obama administration, and the person said that, that's very interesting indeed, and far bigger news than the "discovery" of pedophiles on WP.
