The Online Safety Bill requires ALL online speech to be monitored for “harmful content”, including your private conversations with friends and family.

(note: I linked to the Open Rights Group page on this, who are a great organisation)

Britons should watch out for the “Online Safety Bill”, which threatens their (and potentially everyone else’s) privacy, security/safety and free speech with backdoors, surveillance and censorship.

And of course they went with the protect children route. Like they think sex offenders obey the law and won’t use E2EE just because the government tells them not to.

It’s also a guilt trip/thought stopping strategy. It’s designed to make anyone who supports E2EE look like they’re pedophiles or pedophile sympathesizers and effectively kills any discourse on the matter.
