Wikipedia’s parent organization lost a challenge to the UK Online Safety Act but can bring another case if the government tries to force it to verify the identity of Wikipedia users.
The High Court of Justice in London dismissed claims from the Wikimedia Foundation, which challenged the lawfulness of the categorization system used to determine which sites must comply with obligations. But Justice Jeremy Johnson stressed “that this does not give Ofcom and the Secretary of State a green light to implement a regime that would significantly impede Wikipedia’s operations.”
The Online Safety Act has forced social media sites like Reddit to verify UK users’ ages before letting them view adult content. The Wikimedia Foundation is worried that it will be classified as a “Category 1” operator later this summer and criticized the categorization regulations as “especially broad and vague.”
