Human rights defenders raise concerns that Online Safety Act will lead to censorship of Palestine protest
- Fears that content covering Palestine protests could be incorrectly removed as platforms are incentivised to censor content not protect freedom of expression
- Clarification needed over how platforms define ‘support’ for Palestine Action
- British public have no independent mechanism to challenge wrongful takedowns

This is the end of the open internet. This is 1984 style censorship and information control.
inb4 - Yes of course there will always be ways around whatever they try. But thats for people who know what they're doing. Not for the ipad kids and ipad grandparents. Not for the appified generation in between that doesn't know how to navigate a file system or use TOR. For them it's a walled garden. Which will be carefully curated and controlled.
