Wikipedia's challenge against the UK's Online Safety Act has been dismissed by a judge. The Wikimedia Foundation, which operates Wikipedia, argued that the Act could force them to verify user identities, potentially hindering the platform's open and collaborative nature. While the judge rejected the specific claim, they emphasized that the UK government must ensure the Act does not significantly impede Wikipedia's operations. The ruling leaves open the possibility of future challenges if the Act is implemented in a way that restricts access to or the functioning of Wikipedia.
