Would admins acting as agents of WP be covered in any way? If not, why? Maybe its time this was defined for the safety, protection, and knowledge of any admins. I'm terribly afraid that the WMF will not do a thing to not risk losing claimed and still untested Sec. 230 immunity in the United States.
An example might really clear this discussion up. When I delete something, I'm not really acting on behalf of the foundation at all. I'm acting as myself with consensus driven policy to back me up. Legally I don't really even understand what the issues might be. No one has a right to post a picture of their cat to wikipedia, so when I delete it, I don't really feel as if I've opened myself up to any legal claims. *confused*
