I can't foresee the future. But Trump's first term in office is very troubling. Relentless attacks on journalists, escalation of political violence, attempts to undermine Section 230 protections, attempts to remove apps from app stores by Executive Order, etc. -- checked by a judiciary that's increasingly aligned with the Trump agenda. That's the United States today. From this we can extrapolate plausible scenarios in which the question where to locate Wikimedia's core assets could become the single most urgent strategic question the movement faces. I hope that some preliminary contingency plans exist or are being developed, and I'm sure that the movement-wide debate will widen if the US continues its downward slide into authoritarianism.
