#Wikipedia just dodged a bullet in the UK but is still in danger.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedi…

The bullet was the possibility of Category 1 classification under the UK Online Safety Act. It was spared that classification but remains on a "watch list" of platforms that "could become Category 1 at any point in the future."

If Wikipedia is later classified as Category 1, then either (1) contributors could no longer be pseudonymous or (2) Wikipedia would be subject to severe penalties under UK law.

How severe? The maximum penalty could include a fine up to £18 million, a UK-wide denial of access, and personal criminal liability for senior managers.

NEW by me:

The “Anonymous” Tip System That Wasn’t: Three Months Later, Why Hasn’t Navigate360 Notified Anyone?

Note: there is a trigger warning at the top of this article as it contains sensitive material from tips submitted to and about students on what were supposed to be "anonymous" tiplines.

This is the longest post I have ever done because people need to be more aware that this was the worst breach EVER in terms of highly sensitive personal information of students and their peers and families.

Great thanks to @douglevin for his comments and suggestions on the post.
