<b style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial">Data has just come out that the people of India have been among the largest donors of Wikipedia, maybe even WikiLeaks. That data has not leaked yet. Does that surprise you?</b></p>

It is very gratifying to hear. We don't know where they are from. It is for their protection, so we cannot be influenced by people, except of course to keep us going. <i><b>But I am heartened to hear India is supporting something like Wikipedia that has goals which are not too dissimilar from us.</b></i> That is why we want to collect important information and present it to the public. We are trying to go after the hardest case, that is the information of spy agencies and states that are trying to restrict. And when it is published they will go after the publisher.</p>
