Signatories to our open letter call on Ofcom to proactively defend the right to free expression.

The UK Online Safety Act requires platforms to assess and moderate 'illegal' content.

This mixed with the UK’s vague definition of terrorism could lead to content being wrongly flagged and removed.

This includes supportive posts about Palestine or protests and debate about the Palestine Action ban.
