Wikipedia Online Safety Bill age checks in United Kingdom

Wikipedia has millions of articles in hundreds of languages, written and edited entirely by thousands of volunteers around the world. It is the eighth most-visited site in the UK, according to data from analytics company SimilarWeb. Wikipedia will not comply with any age checks required under the Online Safety Bill, its foundation says. If a service does not comply with the bill, there can be serious consequences potentially including large fines, criminal sanctions for senior staff, or restricting access to a service in the UK. Is this forcing Wikipedia to change the way it was meant to work ?
