I wonder why Wikipedia does not ban access from the UK due to this ruling ? I think doing that will get them an exemption rather quickly.

- tehwebguy 1y agoDo they even need to? Seems like they can just eliminate all the jobs in the UK and let the ISPs ban them when the time comes.
- MattPalmer1086 1y agoRight - in terms of liability there is nothing the UK can do to them if they aren't operating there. Up to the UK to block them with the Great British Firewall if they still aren't happy. Having said that, if Wikipedia geo blocked the UK it would send a powerful message to everyone living here.
- dmoy 1y agoMy read of the article is that it's still an ongoing legal battle, even after this one judgement. So maybe yes, but maybe no, depending on how things pan out in subsequent rulings?
- coryrc 1y agoI don't think any movement like that has worked yet.
