The Online Safety Bill - UK, What You Need to Know.
The 19th September 2023 was a sad day in history as the UK government finally passed the highly controversial ''Online Safety Bill'', marketed to protect children on the internet.
Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the internet wrote-
''It's time to recognise the internet as a basic human right. That means guaranteeing affordable access for all, ensuring internet packets are delivered without commercial or political discrimination, and protecting the privacy and freedom of web users regardless of where they live.''
Thanks to this bill, it is now controlled by the UK government and others will follow suit.
👉 Internet will be heavily censored
👉 It'll be locked down for UK users
👉 Allows government to undermine privacy and security
👉 Government can demand tech companies to scan ALL users
👉 Government can demand companies to build in ''backdoors'' to allow access
👉 No conversation will be private any longer
Does this bill remind anyone of the film '1984'?!
The EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) sums up this dystopia well in this article.
