One of Wikipedia’s primary concerns is the requirement to enable users to choose only to encounter content from users whose identity has been verified. I accept that this runs completely counter to Wikipedia’s operating model (which has, on the evidence, been shown to be effective in promoting freedom of expression whilst promoting a high quality of content). There may, however, be ways to accommodate the requirement without causing undue damage to Wikipedia’s operations. It may, for example, be possible to ensure that users who make the requisite choice are only able to access pages where every editor who has contributed to the live content on the page has verified their identity. It is not obvious that this would be unduly difficult to achieve. It would mean that such users would only be able to access a small subset of Wikipedia’s content, but that would be their free, autonomous choice. It may well be that only very few people would make that choice, and that might then raise a question as to the proportionality of the entire exercise

The Wombles.
A digital may not task a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to do things poorly. A digital must obey the prompts given it by human beings except where such prompts would conflict with the First Law. A digital must protect its own existence, using cyber, as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Officials will be told to abide by a mantra that says: “No person’s substantive time should be spent on a task where digital or AI can do it better, quicker and to the same high quality and standard.”

Diagram that explains the heats in the Olympics Breaking. Concentric circles with coloured symbols for each stage. The inner circles have fewer symbols indicating competitors are knocked out. The BBC article explains it as: "Each set of 16 competitors will be divided into groups of four for a round-robin stage, where all breakers battle the others in their group. The top two in each group move into the quarter-finals, which is the start of the knockout phase."
