The collateral damage from this “sticking it to big tech” is so so large, but people in charge don't understand the internet. I wrote to my MP @TulipSiddiq in April (https://derickrethans.nl/...), but still haven't gotten an answer. https://twitter.com/...

I'm rather with the Open Rights Group here. We don't need further restrictions on what people are allowed to post, view and read. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

This could be about to happen. I'm not going to take a victory lap just yet, but four Prime Ministers and seven Culture Secretaries later, we may have an Online Safety Law.... https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

...which, by the way, was banned here in Scotland way back in 2010, when you were all still typing on Blackberries and Twitter had 140 characters. It's almost as if playing the ball and not the man makes better public policy. https://twitter.com/...

This terrible overblown unworkable bill needs junking and starting again from scratch. And it needs to be evidence-based, not built on the emotive calls from pressure groups. https://twitter.com/...

Four prime ministers and seven secretaries of state later, the Online Safety Bill is returning. The Government desperately wants to avoid stories about how the Conservative Party remains split over the legislation, so... it's banning “downblousing”. https://www.theguardian.com/ .…

This risks ❌ Creating an encryption ‘backdoor’ for criminals and hostile foreign actors ❌ Undermining the credibility of the UK on the international stage ❌ Undermining the growth and competitiveness of the UK technology sector

👎 The Online Safety Bill will undermine encryption by empowering Ofcom to demand service providers use ‘accredited technology’ to give them access to encrypted content ❗️But encryption can't be maintained while another party not participating in the exchange has access
