  Unintended consequences of the UK Online Safety Bill mean a trio of surveillance, prior restraint of speech, and restriction on access to online content and services.

  This Bill vastly increases online surveillance of British people without any judicial or administrative oversight. It will institute a de facto “general monitoring” and proactive scanning. This means all users’ posts, public and private, every day, all the time.
