As far as i can tell, the arguments (on enwiki)
usually boil down to:
*providing a share this link is a tacit endorsement/free advertisement of a
website we dont like. Selecting who to show could present neutrality issues
Exactly. This is the primary divisive aspect.
* Do we include links to Everyone Who Asks?
What if we used Wikidata and had an open form of sharing?
I could imagine us asking Wikidata what things are instance of sharing
platforms and what the URL for them. Using something like OOJS UI's
InputLookupWidget you could allow users to search for their preferred
service in this category.
We could then keep track for a given user their preferred services.
This means we would be completely neutral. It could also be a bit of a
game changer in the open web. Maybe we could revive
http://webintents.org/ using Wikidata?
