Liberal Reform have condemned the UK #OnlineSafetyAct for its threat to privacy and free exchange of information.

"Article 8 of the ECHR is clear that there is a right to privacy. By requiring age verification to access certain websites, the legislation forces people to put their names next to their search history on the internet."

Will the #LibDems oppose this "poorly drafted legislation"?

The UK Online Safety Act has hit the fan 馃挬

It's clear to see in the overreaching censorship across platforms due to age-gated content.

Plus the privacy risks being stored up with an unregulated age verification industry.

Tell your MP it's gone too far 猬囷笍

@openrightsgroup I've sent an email to my MP, and added;

"I will also add, calling critics of this law "JIMMY SAVILE" is the most politically inept and childish thing I've seen in British Politics recently. Are we returning to the Playground?
I mean, I hate Nigel Farage but your boy Peter Kyle really handed him a win, didn't he?"
