The UK Online Safety Act is ballooning in scope.

Bumping up 'self-harm' content as a priority offence means these sort of posts will be stripped from social media for adults and kids.

ORG's @JamesBaker explains how this change to the law will result in therapeutic or support content being censored.

@openrightsgroup @JamesBaker All the more reason to continue our work towards developing a decentralised Internet.

@openrightsgroup@social.openrightsgroup.org @JamesBaker@social.openrightsgroup.org So do they not have to pass these changes through Parliament? We all know this was part of the plan all along.

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

The government must address the threats to freedom of expression from over-moderation, not use Henry VIII powers to extend its scope.

Not if it is properly implemented 😉 :
