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.

@openrightsgroup This kind of thing was anticipated. The Govt doesn't care about that. They're staking their claim and grabbing the poplulation's personal territory. They'll just keep on hacking away at it till it's the way they want it.

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 and debate is far-reaching when up against automated censorship.
