【正确答案】正确答案: My Views on Web Wiki Recently, Wikipedia has become a trendy word. It has been regarded as an online encyclopedia to its fans. Whenever they come across a certain unfamiliar thing, they will consult Wikipedia for reference. Wiki has satisfied both their desire for knowledge and curiosity for novel things. However, Wiki has also aroused people's concern for the protection of secrecy and privacy. Wiki is believed to be a free, web-based collaborative, multilingual online encyclopedia. Different from the traditional encyclopedia, Wiki's articles have been written collaboratively by volunteers around the world. Almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the site, which has made it the largest and most popular general reference work on the Internet. In this way, Wiki becomes an example of online collaboration and interaction. However, Wiki also has its problem. It starts from WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks is supposed to be a non-profit media organization dedicated to bringing important news and information to the public. But the news they get is leaked from anonymous independent sources. According to its claim, WikiLeaks is to provide a "universal way for the revealing of suppressed and censored injustices". Then the problem arises. At the time people find they have the access to secret or private information on others, even on state policies, and they also feel the terror of being spied, thus, losing the sense of safety. And it's well known that the sense of safety and the protection of privacy are values traditionally cherished by western culture. Therefore, Wiki traps people into a dilemma. It offers people the freedom of acquiring and contributing to knowledge while at the same time challenges their most cherished ideas towards life.
