Remember! Not all internet platforms are Big Tech! Regulators should not treat Wikipedia the same as large corporate platforms that monetize users' identities and activities.

Exterior of the Clock Tower building. Text says: Wikimedia Foundation's challenge to UK's Online Safety Act regulations reaches the High Court of Justice.
Next week, the Court will hear our challenge to the UK's Online Safety Act Categorization Regulations, which endanger Wikipedia and the global community of volunteer contributors who create the information on the site.

A mirrored building, with a flag on top and scattered clouds in the background. Text says: For the fifth time, China blocked the Wikimedia Foundation as observer to the World Intellectual Property Organization.
Once again, our application for observer status at WIPO, the UN agency for intellectual property, was blocked by China. This veto excludes a global community of 260,000 contributors and billions of readers from decisions that directly affect them.

Fotografia em close-up de uma mão de uma pessoa, possivelmente de pele escura, segurando um smartphone na horizontal. A tela do celular exibe o que parece ser uma videoconferência com múltiplos participantes em pequenas janelas. A maior parte da imagem é coberta por um fundo laranja sólido com um texto extenso em letras brancas, contornado por uma fina linha branca. O texto diz: "Acreditamos que a preservação do modelo multissetorial do CGI.br e o respeito às suas atribuições são cruciais para o avanço tecnológico, a resiliência da infraestrutura e a proteção dos direitos dos usuários no Brasil – pilares para o conhecimento livre."

Fotografia de um evento com sobreposição de texto. Na parte superior, um banner lilás e branco com o texto "Global challenges for the governance of the digital world", "NETmundial+10", "São Paulo, Brazil | April 29-30, 2024". Abaixo do banner, uma mulher e um homem estão sentados em uma mesa de painel, com microfones à frente. Sobrepondo a imagem da plateia e do palco, uma faixa laranja com o texto em letras brancas maiúsculas: "WIKIMEDIA EM DEFESA DO MODELO DE GOVERNANÇA DA INTERNET NO BRASIL". Abaixo desta faixa, em um fundo bege claro, o texto: "A Wikimedia Brasil e a Wikimedia Foundation lançam hoje uma nota pública de apoio ao Comitê Gestor da Internet no Brasil (CGI.br)". Na parte inferior da imagem, sobre um fundo laranja mais escuro, estão os logotipos da "WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION" à esquerda e "WIKIMEDIA BRASIL" à direita, ambos em branco. No canto superior direito da imagem, há a inscrição "MRocha (WMB) / CC-BY-SA 4.0".
Fotografia de um auditório durante um evento. Ao fundo, um palco iluminado com um grande telão exibindo o logo "NETmundial+10 São Paulo, Brasil April 29-30, 2024" e "cgi.br", além de imagens de palestrantes. No palco, diversas pessoas estão sentadas em uma longa mesa. Em primeiro plano, o público está sentado em cadeiras verdes, de costas para a câmera, assistindo ao evento. Sobreposta à imagem, na parte inferior, uma faixa laranja com o texto em letras brancas maiúsculas: "FORMADO COM PARTICIPAÇÃO DOS SETORES EMPRESARIAL, CIENTÍFICO E TÉCNICO, DO TERCEIRO SETOR E GOVERNAMENTAL". Abaixo desta faixa, em um fundo branco, o texto em preto: "E reconhecido internacionalmente como um pilar de governança democrática e tecnicamente qualificada, o CGI.br exerce há 30 anos um papel dedicado às regras e normas fundamentais ao bom funcionamento da internet.".

Fotografia em close-up de duas mãos de uma pessoa de pele clara, com unhas curtas e um relógio prateado no pulso esquerdo, tocando a tela de um tablet, que está fora de foco. Sobreposta à imagem, uma faixa laranja com o texto "GOVERNANÇA SOB RISCO" em letras brancas maiúsculas. Abaixo, também em um fundo laranja, um texto mais longo em fonte menor e branca: "Além de transferir as atribuições do CGI.br para a ANATEL, o Projeto de Lei 4557/2024 pretende alterar a composição do Comitê, incluindo representantes do Legislativo e retirando pessoas de notório saber, uma afronta ao caráter técnico do órgão.". No canto superior da imagem, centralizado, o crédito "Cortipedia / Wikimedia Commons / CC-BY-SA 4.0" em letras brancas.
Fotografia de três pessoas em um ambiente que parece ser um escritório ou biblioteca, com estantes de arquivos ao fundo. Um homem de óculos e barba, vestindo uma blusa escura, está em pé atrás de uma mesa, olhando para um laptop e sorrindo. Sentadas à sua frente, duas mulheres interagem com o laptop; uma, de óculos e blusa escura, olha para a tela, enquanto a outra, de blusa azul, aponta para o computador. Sobre a mesa, há também outro laptop menor e material de escritório. A metade inferior da imagem é um bloco de cor laranja com texto em branco. O primeiro parágrafo diz: "O Comitê tem diversas atribuições, entre elas a de “estabelecer diretrizes estratégicas relacionadas ao uso e desenvolvimento da Internet no Brasil”.". O segundo parágrafo afirma: "Apesar disso, ele não foi consultado pela ANATEL, que anunciou a extinção de uma norma sobre serviços de conexão de internet, em decisão sem qualquer participação social".

The Royal Courts of Justice main gate. Text says "Wikimedia Foundation brings legal challenge to new UK Online Safety Act requirements".
We are challenging the lawfulness of the UK’s Online Safety Act Categorisation Regulations, which determine our obligations under UK laws.
These rules create unacceptable risks for Wikipedia’s volunteer users, such as disempowering those who wish to keep their identity private.
