You have to be kidding. Wikipedia!?!? If you think this has anything to do with “online safety” you are crazy.
Wikipedia is currently in a legal battle with the UK government to try and stop the platform being censored in the UK - or even completely blocked - thanks to the Online Safety Act.

It was never about safety, it was never about safety. It was always about control, from the start it was about control. The more they control the more they can censor. This is about controlling what you can see. This is censorship.

If I was using Windows I would be going insane, this has to be the buggiest OS
Microsoft confirms "Update and Shut Down" was actually restarting Windows 11. If you have ever noticed Windows 11’s Update and Shut Down not actually shutting down your PC and restarting instead, you’re not alone. Many of us probably developed a little trust issue with that button because the PC kept bouncing back to the sign-in screen. Turns out it was a known issue with Windows 11 and even Windows 10. It's finally fixed. This fix will begin rolling out to everyone with this month's Patch Tuesday, scheduled for November 11. Requires Build 26200.7019 / 26100.7019 or newer.

I don't know if this is true or not, but let's say hypothetically that this happens. They've outed themselves because it was all about control and now they'll try to spread propaganda. Nothing says protecting the kids like forcing the news onto their YouTube feed!
🚨The all powerful OFCOM wants to force BBC content into your YouTube feed! whether you want it, or trust it, in a sort of force fed algorithmic propaganda way. If Ofcom does this, your feed won’t reflect what people want to see, only what they’re told they should…. government approved content 🚨

"It's a fucking browser you care too much about things that don't matter" A browser is a software that you use daily, need to use the internet? You open your browser. The browser is the most important piece of software on your system, of course I care what browser I use. You just don't truly think about the value your browser provides.
