The UK Online Safety Act is an unworkable mess 💩

Can it be changed? And if so, is there the political will to do it?

Instead of doubling down on more censorship, Ofcom and the government must take steps to protect freedom of expression.

ORG's Sara Chitseko and @JamesBaker discuss.

How do you solve a problem like the UK Online Safety Act? 😵‍💫

ORG is calling for a rights-based approach.

One that limits the scope of the OSA to minimise threats to free expression and regulates the age verification industry to protect privacy.

Here’s how ⬇️

@openrightsgroup Question is: who's rights are you defending here? The user's? The investor's? The content companies' like YouTube?
BTW: YT is destroying itself with all those in-video ad's.

The UK Online Safety Act is a badly designed, overblown piece of legislation that's laying waste to content online.

Ofcom must take stock of these threats to freedom of expression in their guidance and Parliament must reform the Act.

Write to your MP ⬇️
