We don’t talk about it much, but for two decades now Automattic has been a fierce fighter for free speech on behalf of our customers and journalists. Our legal team has gotten a big upgrade in the past 15 months so look for more in this area.
- WordPress 7.0 is shaping up to be a great release, and we’re moving fast! As someone noted, after the product review, we got the new Connectors setting screen in beta 2 at AI speed.

It reminds me of Tantek’s 2005 Attention.xml presentation.
