But Wikipedia is not even covered by the exceptions. They would have to fill all of the following criteria to not need apply upload filters:

1. Available to the public for less than 3 years,

2. Annual turnover below €10 million, and

3. Fewer than 5 million unique monthly visitors.

They fail 1 & 3 for certain. Possibly 2 as well (e.g. in 2017 WMF paid $33 million in staff salaries alone.)

No, read the actual text, there's an explicit exception for online encyclopedias and other non-profit websites
