TAKE BACK YOUR INTERNET FREEDOM

The UK Online Safety Act 2023 claims to protect users from harmful and illegal content… But at what cost?
From March 2025, platforms have been forced to police online spaces under threat of multi-million-pound fines, while July 2025 brought sweeping child-safety duties that push companies into monitoring and censoring vast amounts of content, and forcing everyday users into privacy-violating identity checks.
