Carl Benjamin - Online Safety Bill: The Silencing of Dissent & Debate Under the Guise of Public Safety
In May 2021 the Government published the draft Online Safety Bill which aims to safeguard young people and clamp down on online abuse while protecting freedom of speech.
As often happens, legislation that is introduced to address one concern opens up a Pandora's box in other issues.
In this case the supposed desire to protect people online will lead to a draconian clampdown on free speech.
To cause offence is now criminal, online discussion and debate can easily be misunderstood as communication is reduced down to text without any other personal engagement or context.
Carl Benjamin joins Hearts of Oak to ask the question......Will this bill end freedom of speech online?
Carl Benjamin is a British free-speech activist who came to prominence through his YouTube pseudonym Sargon of Akkad.
