I’m not a fan of the laws regardless, but if we pretend for a second they’re justified, it’s worth considering how they should work in a case like Wikipedia. Wikipedia has quite strong protections against problem content already, and that’s because it has a shared global view of content with effective moderation tools and a wide moderator base that respects the rules. That should reality should be taken into account in the governments new rules. On the other hand, anyone who understands how this all works was already against this stuff if law, so I guess they didn’t get any useful feedback internally
