    In the UK the Online Safety Act was apparently designed to protect children, so far it is just being used to curtail online speech.

    This video explains well the probable intent of the bill which was concocted by a Conservative Government and is being enforced by a Labour Government.

    This bill has been so problematic for so many niche websites.  The title is misleading.  I'm sure it won't be too long before the US has their own version.  

    The European Commission and the Who are creating a new AI system to monitor social media and "online misinformation".  The AI will track online conversations and media activity in real time.  They just won't stop with their surveillance.

    Now in UK the current Government want to force through a compulsory digital ID system too, no doubt eventually linked to bank accounts to control spending, taxed at source.
