Re: What The Internet Does Best.

So what corruption are we on about here?

Wikimedia is free and ad free to the end user without any data slurping. - Can't see the corruption there...

The money it's received in donations is being used to develop the project further and providing hosting for it's free sites and free downloads with their free support pages. - Nope not yet...

Volunteer work is peer reviewed and the proceeds of which provided to the public. Nothing there...

Some of the money is used to pay it's board of directors, the amount of which is publicised. - Bum, thought I almost found the corruption...

There is disagreement between volunteers and paid staff on how things are run. You get two people in a room and there would be disagreements. - So another miss...

You can look at most corporations and corruption is rife, but GNU projects tend to be altruistic with the odd "personality" mixing up the mood rather than finding ways to syphon funds.
