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!

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.
