• •Larry Sanger, a co-founder of Wikipedia, stated in a personal blog post that he has been banned from the site.
• •Sanger describes the current governance of Wikipedia as being dominated by anonymous editors rather than formal leadership.
• •The claim of being 'banned' remains unverified by public edit logs or official statements from the Wikimedia Foundation.

Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger recently announced he has been banned from the platform he helped launch in 2001. While Sanger highlights a long-standing tension between his vision for expert-led content and the project’s actual evolution toward decentralized volunteer moderation, he now characterizes the site's power structure as an 'anonymous mob.' The Wikimedia Foundation has not commented on the status of his account, and it remains unclear if the restriction is a formal site-wide ban or a local administrative action. The conflict underscores the ongoing debate over how digital knowledge platforms manage the friction between institutional history and community-driven governance.
