Ofcom's latest proposals would mean that:

🔴 Lawful activism could be censored as it happens.
🔴 Content about Palestine may auto-delete from your feeds.
🔴 The police can clampdown on protest online.

With proactive scanning of content, political censorship under the Online Safety Act is potentially boundless.

Don't let activism blink out of sight!

Ofcom (UK) wants all social posts to be scanned for 'illegal' content before they appear in our feeds.

And the AI doing it will go OTT. Posts about protest could get removed or suppressed as the UK Online Safety Act expands even further.

Say no to more censorship ⬇️

Terror powers to proscribe organisations like Palestine Action or Just Stop Oil will be enforced through the Online Safety Act.

As we've seen from the heavy-handed policing of protests about Palestine Action, proactive scanning will over-remove protest content as automated filters can't understand context or nuance.

Police to get broader powers to restrict repeated protests

This article is infuriating but worth reading. Look at how #PalestineAction protests and fhe Manchester Synagogue attack are deliberately muddled together here, as a narrative and in policy.

This is dirty work - don’t fall for this! This narrative here is so wrong. Yet, as ever, it is so much easier to put it out there than to dismantle it and show why it’s wrong, what is being done here.

Algorithms will hyperactively dredge feeds of what's 'illegal' before people even see it.

Platforms will over-moderate, rather than face penalties. The impact on protest about Palestine is far-reaching when up against automated censorship.

What's 'illegal' is open to interpretation.

UK terror laws criminalise people for taking part in a proscribed group AND for expressing 'support' which is 'reckless' in getting others to support it.

Duties on platforms under the UK Online Safety Act encourage automated moderation that disproportionately affects marginalised political speech.

Platforms have a duty to mitigate the risk of 'illegal' content under the UK Online Safety Act.

Faced with unclear definitions, they'll over-moderate content about protest and Palestine solidarity.

Especially as Ofcom advises platforms they can bypass OSA duties by censoring more than is required!

The Palestine Action ban in the UK is hitting the streets and our feeds.

Beyond mass arrests, the Online Safety Act requires social media platforms to block 'illegal' content.

This is leading to the over-censorship of content relating to Gaza and protest.

The UK Online Safety Act is trashing free speech 👁️‍🗨️

Automated filters designed to blot out 'illegal' content will result in over-moderation.

This has serious consequences, particularly when combined with the proscription of Palestine Action.

Hear from ORG's Sara Chitseko and @JamesBaker.

Interesting how your government supports neonazi, ultraright and are sponsored by zionists.

If #YvetteCooper was actually confident that her ever-so-secret briefings from her secret police justified proscribing #PalestineAction , then people are being arrested for not knowing what they are not allowed to know.

Does she ever lie awake before dawn wondering if the secret police might have a - secret 😆 - reason to mislead her? I hope so, but fear not.

The one thing we know the secret police are good at is manipulating politicians.
