Wikipedia has lost its High Court challenge against the Online Safety Act – but what does that actually mean? The act introduced age-verification and tighter moderation requirements for what content internet users can find last month.

The ruling "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."
