Larry Sanger, Co-founder of Wikipedia, is an American internet developer and philosopher. But, despite penning Wikipedia's neutrality policy back in 2001, which stated that each Wikipedia entry "must be written from a neutral point of view (NPOV)," Sanger found that the organization's content began skewing more to the political left. After additional friction increased, Larry left Wikipedia, but has continued to be outspoken about its political radicalization, noting that "the inmates have taken over the asylum" and recently commenting that many of its articles are pure propaganda. Today, Larry is Executive Director of the new Knowledge Standard Foundation (KSF) which aims to build a truly leaderless, decentralized, old-fashioned encyclopedia network — like the backbone of the Internet itself — called the “Encyclosphere.”
