Re: "It could be crowdsourced like Wikipedia, for its accuracy."

He's quite correct: it could be crowdsourced. It wouldn't work and would be even worse than the alternative, probably, but it is at least a possibility.

Wikipedia's great, but not every article has correct and up-to-date information all the time. He should know that, but based on the various other things he's talking about, I'm guessing he has more expertise in authoritarianism than in how the internet works even from a user perspective.
