The Wikimedia Foundation (npub1hdk…eh5e) Foundation has filed a lawsuit against the UK 🇬🇧 government over its implementation of the Online Safety Act
The new UK law enters into effect next year and will require Wikimedia to verify the identity of Wikipedia users
The Foundation says the new law puts the #privacy of its users in danger, with some users relying on anonymity as they operate from hostile governments
