Why a tax break for porn warehouse?
by Gregory Kohs

Here are the facts:

The Wikimedia Foundation is a tax-exempt 501-c-3 organization. It draws in over $10 million in annual revenues, though by putting much of that in the bank, its "program expenses" account for only 41 cents of every revenue dollar. (Look at their latest Form 990 filing, if you doubt this.) Most bona fide charities try to maintain program expenses ratios north of 80%, to demonstrate that they are actually serving their charitable mission. So, the Wikimedia Foundation is doing about half the job they should be.

If you look at the top 100 images accessed by users on the Wikimedia Commons site, you'll find that sex and porn dominate the list:

Notably, we see...
#5 Category:Shaved genitalia (female)
#6 Category:Vulva
#11 Penis
#12 Category:Female genitalia
#13 Category:Ejaculation
#14 Category:Sex positions
#16 Category:Vagina
#17 Category:Erotic
#18 Category:Oral sex
#19 Category:Masturbation
#21 Category:Penis
#22 Category:Female masturbation
#23 Category:Sex
#25 Category:Male masturbation

So, somebody explain to me how we've gotten to this point, where a sex and porn image server is granted tax exemption. Is it merely a coincidence that Jimmy Wales's business just prior to co-founding Wikipedia was operating the "Bomis Babes" adult photography site?

Masnick, I'm sorry, but you're without a clue on how deep this goes. Let me know if you're interested in talking sometime about how Jimmy Wales reacted when I pointed out to him the potentially illegal child photography on his Wikia, Inc. servers that were hosting a "Spanking Art" wiki.
