Remove restrictions from disc, safely reformatted (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

declassify

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'remove' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'restrictions from disc safely reformatted' is the wordplay.
'disc safely' can be anagrammed to 'DECLASSIFY'.
Though, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for declassify that I've seen before include "Downgrade (a secret document)" , "set in public domain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
