Tell your MP: The Online Safety Act isn’t working
What's the problem? The Online Safety Act has been a disaster. Rather than protect children, millions of adults are facing widespread censorship, and teenagers are having their freedom of expression restricted.Open Rights Group
The UK Online Safety Act is a badly designed, overblown piece of legislation.
Age verification was plonked in without a care for how it was regulated or its excessive reach.
From Reddit to Spotify, UK users are faced with a Faustian bargain: surrender privacy for free expression.
It’s a disaster.

ORG warned of the dangers and pitfalls contained in the UK Online Safety Bill.
We call for a rights-based approach. One that limits the scope of the OSA to minimise threats to free expression and regulates the age verification industry.
